A strong, rotten smell that gets worse over a few days often means a rat or other small animal has died in the roof, a wall cavity or under the floor. It is unpleasant and can draw flies. If you have this problem in Moorooka, call us and we will give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew to find and remove it.
The crew we book will use the smell, fly activity and any stains on the ceiling to narrow down where the animal is. They then get into the roof space or sub-floor where access allows, remove the animal and bag it for disposal. They can also treat the area to help with the smell and point out how the animal may have got in.

Many older homes in Moorooka have large roof spaces and open sub-floors where rats and other small animals can get in and become trapped. If the animal is inside a sealed wall, the crew will explain the options, which may include cutting a small access hole that you can have patched later. They will talk to you before doing anything like that.
Keep kids and pets away from the area and do not handle the animal with bare hands. If flies are gathering, close off the room. To book dead animal removal and get a price, call 07 3543 7768 and tell us where the smell is strongest.
