Dead Animal Removal in Rhodes & Sydney
A smell in the house that won't go away, stronger every day, usually means something has died in the roof, wall or under the floor.
We locate the source of the odour, remove the animal from roof voids, wall cavities or subfloors, then sanitise and deodorise the area. If rodents were the cause, we'll also advise on how they got in so it doesn't happen again.
The short answer
Dead Animal Removal in Sydney, explained
A dead animal in a roof, wall cavity or subfloor is located by odour tracing, removed hygienically, then the area is sanitised and deodorised. Left alone, the smell in Sydney's warm months can last weeks and attract blowflies and maggots.

Common questions
How long does the smell last if I do nothing?
Weeks to months depending on the animal's size and the weather, and flies and stains often follow. Removal plus sanitising resolves it immediately.
What if you can't reach the carcass?
We're equipped for tight roof voids and subfloors. In the rare case a cavity truly can't be accessed, we treat and deodorise the area so the breakdown is fast and odour-free.
