A possum that has lived in a roof for months leaves a real mess. Droppings build up along its favourite paths, nesting material collects in corners and insulation gets soaked, squashed and dragged around. In Logan, some roof spaces have had possums on and off for years, and the build-up can be heavy by the time anyone climbs up to look.
Roof space clean-up clears that mess out. The crew we book works through the roof, bagging droppings, old nests and any insulation too soiled to keep. Stained timbers can be deodorised as they go. Bags are carried out through the manhole and taken away at the end of the job. Any chewed cables or damaged fittings they spot are pointed out, so you can have an electrician check them.
- Droppings removed along runways and nesting areas
- Old nests and nesting material cleared
- Soiled insulation bagged and removed
- Stained spots deodorised
- Gaps in insulation pointed out afterwards
- Bags taken away when the job is done
The crew wears masks and gloves and keeps the mess inside the roof space, so nothing is carried through your home. Where insulation has been taken out, they will show you the bare areas so you can arrange new batts if you want to. Clean-up is best done after the possum is out and the entry is sealed, so the roof stays clean afterwards. Clean roof spaces are also easier to check if you ever hear noises again.
If you are not sure how much mess is up there, a possum inspection first will give you an idea of the size of the job. We give upfront pricing before the visit. For roof space clean-up in Logan, call 07 3543 7767 and we will book a nearby independent crew.
