Fast & Hygienic Dead Possum Removal Service in Stromlo
Finding a dead possum in your roof cavity, ceiling, wall void or backyard is not only distressing but also a serious health and property concern. The strong odour from decomposition can spread quickly through your home, attracting insects such as blowflies and maggots, and even causing staining or leakage in walls and ceilings. Left untreated, the problem can worsen rapidly, creating an unsafe and unhygienic environment for your family.

Why Prompt Dead Possum Removal Matters In Stromlo?
Possums are common throughout Stromlo. When one dies inside a building or underfloor, decomposition produces strong odour and attracts insects and wildlife — creating health, safety and structural risks.
Health & Hygiene Risks
- Decomposing carcasses attract blowflies and maggots which can spread bacteria.
- Pathogens on decaying tissue may present a zoonotic risk to people and pets.
- Contaminated insulation or ceiling cavities can reduce indoor air quality, aggravating allergies and asthma.
Property & Nuisance Issues
- Persistent odour can permeate plaster, insulation and soft furnishings.
- Insulation contamination and staining may require partial replacement.
- Secondary pests (rats, cockroaches) can be drawn to the site, escalating repair costs.
In short: delaying dead possum removal in Stromlo often multiplies the cost and inconvenience. A professional service removes the carcass, disinfects the area, removes odour and advises on prevention.

Our Step-By-Step Dead Possum Removal Process
We follow a strict, safe workflow to protect your family and property:
Initial Phone Triage & Confirmation
The process begins with a quick phone assessment to confirm the location of the possum, whether it is in the roof, wall, yard, or another area. During this call, we determine the urgency of the situation and any access requirements. Where possible, we provide an estimated time of arrival for same-day attendance, ensuring rapid response for emergency cases.
Thorough Inspection & Location
On arrival at your property, our technicians conduct a detailed inspection to locate the carcass and assess any secondary contamination. Roof cavities, ceiling spaces, wall voids, under decks, and external areas are all thoroughly checked. To locate the possum accurately, we may use torches, endoscopes, or access panels when necessary, ensuring no area is overlooked.
Safe Removal & Containment
Once located, the possum is removed with minimal disturbance. Technicians wear full personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, masks, and disposable overalls, and use specialist lifting and containment tools. The carcass is securely placed in sealed disposal bags, keeping the process safe and hygienic while preventing the spread of bacteria and odours.
Sanitisation & Disinfection
After removal, the affected area is cleaned using hospital-grade disinfectants to eliminate bacteria and reduce the risk of infection. Any contaminated insulation or porous materials are assessed and removed if necessary, ensuring that the space is left clean and safe for continued use.
Odour Neutralisation
Removing the carcass is only part of the process — eliminating lingering odours is equally important. We apply professional odour neutralisers and deodorising treatments to eradicate smells rather than simply masking them. For severe cases, advanced treatments such as thermal or ozone-based neutralisation may be used, where appropriate and safe.
Proof of Work & Advice
Once the removal and cleaning are complete, we provide before and after photos along with a written job report for your records. Our technicians also identify likely entry points for possums and offer expert advice on possum-proofing, including sealing gaps, trimming tree branches, and installing vent guards.
Legal Disposal
Finally, the carcass is disposed of in strict accordance with local regulations and council requirements, ensuring compliance and responsible waste management.
This structured process ensures a safe, hygienic, and thorough outcome, with a strong focus on preventing recurrence and protecting your home from future possum intrusions.
