In one paragraph

Dead animal removal is the location, extraction and sanitisation of an animal carcass inside a building — usually a possum, rat or bird in a roof cavity, wall void or subfloor. A technician pinpoints the source, removes it under biohazard protocol, treats the area with commercial-grade disinfectant and deodoriser, then seals the entry point. Same-day service across Wynnum, on site within 60 minutes.

What you are dealing with

Signs of dead animal trouble
in Wynnum.

01

A sweet, heavy smell

Decomposition odour is unmistakable and gets stronger in warm weather. It usually peaks around day four to seven.

02

Blowflies inside the house

A sudden cluster of flies at a window or light fitting almost always means a carcass in the cavity above or behind it.

03

The smell moves room to room

Odour travels along wall cavities and ducting, which is why the strongest room is often not where the animal is.

04

Staining on a ceiling or wall

Fluid from a carcass leaves a spreading brown mark and will eventually come through the plaster.

05

Noise that suddenly stopped

Scratching or thumping that ended a few days before the smell started is the clearest timeline there is.

06

Maggots or beetles appearing

Larvae dropping from a ceiling vent or downlight mean the carcass is directly above and needs removing now.

How the Wynnum job runs

Four steps,
one visit.

  1. 01

    Locate the source

    Cavity inspection, thermal and probe tools where needed. We find the animal rather than guessing at a wall.

  2. 02

    Biohazard extraction

    Full PPE, sealed containment and correct disposal. Access is made in the least destructive place available.

  3. 03

    Sanitise and deodorise

    Commercial-grade disinfectant on the affected area, then an odour treatment that neutralises rather than masks.

  4. 04

    Seal and prevent

    The entry point that let the animal in gets closed, so the next one is not in there next month.

Everything is carried out under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (QLD), by technicians who work Wynnum and the rest of Greater Brisbane & South East Queensland every week. An operator calls you to confirm every booking.

Questions from
Wynnum customers.

How fast can you get to Wynnum?

A technician is on site in Wynnum within 60 minutes, 6am–10pm, 7 days. Your booking is confirmed within 10 minutes by an operator, not an automated reply.

Do you cover all of Wynnum?

Yes — every street in Wynnum and the surrounding Greater Brisbane & South East Queensland. There is no call-out fee anywhere in our service area.

How long does a dead animal smell last?

A rat takes roughly one to two weeks, a possum three to six weeks or longer in a hot roof. The odour peaks around day four to seven and does not clear properly until the source is removed and the area treated.

How do you find a dead animal in a wall?

Odour mapping, cavity inspection and probe or thermal tools narrow it to a section, then access is cut in the least destructive place. We repair the access neatly.

Is a dead animal in the roof a health risk?

Yes. Decomposition attracts blowflies and beetles, and the fluids carry bacteria. In an occupied home it should be treated as urgent, especially with children or anyone immunocompromised.

Can I just wait for the smell to go away?

You can, but you are waiting weeks with flies and staining, and the fluids keep soaking into the plaster and insulation. Removal plus treatment is faster and cheaper than replacing a ceiling.

Will you have to cut my wall?

Only if there is no other access. Most carcasses are reachable through the roof cavity or subfloor. When access is needed we choose the least visible spot and make it good.

Does insurance cover dead animal removal?

Some policies cover pest-related damage. We provide a written report with photographs that you can lodge with your insurer.
