When a possum has lived in a roof for weeks or months, it leaves a mess behind. Droppings build up near the nest and along its tracks, and urine soaks into insulation and ceiling boards. The result is a smell that can drift into the house, stains on the ceiling and material that attracts insects. We book droppings clean-up across North Lakes, often on the same visit as removal and sealing.
The crew we book wears protective gear and works through the roof space by hand. They collect droppings, lift out any nesting material and bag up small areas of soiled insulation. The bags come down through the manhole and are taken away. Where the timber or ceiling boards are stained, they can apply a deodoriser to help the smell settle.
It pays to do the clean-up only after the possum is out and the gaps are sealed. Cleaning while a possum is still living there means the mess starts again. If you have had a possum removed in the past and the roof was never cleaned, this job can still be booked on its own. Larger areas of soaked insulation are better handled as an insulation removal job, and the crew will tell you if that is the case. The crew can also point out any stains on the ceiling that may need a painter later.
