A possum that has been in a roof space for a few months usually leaves more than droppings behind. Possum odour treatment in Wynnum deals with the smell itself, which can sit in insulation, timber and sarking long after the animal and the mess have been cleared out. Even a fairly short stay can leave a noticeable smell if the weather has been warm, since heat tends to make it stronger.
The crew identifies where the smell is strongest, usually close to where the nest was, and treats those surfaces directly rather than just masking the smell with a spray. In some cases the smell is coming from timber rather than insulation, particularly on older homes, and the crew checks both. Insulation that has absorbed the odour is often the main source, which is why odour treatment is usually booked alongside insulation work if the ceiling insulation has not already been dealt with.
Results vary depending on how long the possum was in residence and how much of the roof space was affected, so the crew will give you a realistic picture during the inspection rather than a blanket answer. Some jobs across Wynnum need a single treatment, while others need a second visit once everything has had time to air out.
