Possums are messy housemates. After a few weeks in a roof in Buderim, a single possum can leave piles of droppings, a large nest area and insulation soaked with urine. In warm, humid weather the smell builds quickly and can reach the rooms below through downlights and vents. Stains may also start to show on the ceiling. Droppings can draw flies and other pests if left for long.
The crew we book does the clean-up once the possum is out and the roof is sealed. Wearing masks and gloves, they collect droppings by hand and with a vacuum designed for fine dust, bag the waste and carry it out through the manhole. Insulation that is badly soaked or matted is lifted and bagged too. Nest material around the eaves and the manhole is cleared away. The crew moves slowly and steps only on the ceiling joists.
Once the area is cleared, the crew shows you what was removed and points out any parts of the ceiling that are now thinly covered or stained. That way you can decide what to do next. Many people add roof space sanitising or odour neutralising to the same visit, which is the simplest way to deal with the smell that remains.
