Possum urine has a strong, musky smell that can seep into timber, insulation and the back of plasterboard. Even after the possum has gone and the droppings are cleared, that smell can hang around for weeks, especially in the humid summers around Victoria Point. Roof deodorising treats the smell at its source so your home can air out.
The crew we book first finds where the smell is strongest, which is usually the nest site and the main paths. Once the area has been cleaned out, they apply an odour neutraliser by spraying or fogging. The product works on the compounds that cause the smell rather than just covering them with a perfume, so the result is more than a quick mask.

Deodorising works well as part of a set with a roof cavity clean-up. If the smell is coming from a dead animal rather than a live possum, the crew will find and remove it before treating the area. If the stain on your ceiling is large, it may still need sealing and painting once dry, and the crew can tell you what to look for.
Most homes smell much fresher within a few days, with windows open to help. To book roof deodorising in Victoria Point, call 07 3543 7768 and let us have the room where the smell is worst.
