Once the gaps are sealed, the mess left behind in the roof still needs attention. Possums leave piles of droppings, nest material and urine stains, often in one or two favourite spots near the eaves. In the humid Morayfield summer, that waste starts to smell. Leaving it there also draws flies and other pests into the ceiling. We give you upfront pricing for the clean-up when you call and book a nearby independent crew to do it.
The crew we book wears gloves, masks and coveralls and works through the roof space by hand. Droppings and loose nest material are bagged up and taken away. Where the mess has soaked into the insulation, the crew points it out and quotes for removing those batts. Stained timber and plasterboard edges are wiped down where they can be reached.
The clean-up is usually done on the same visit as sealing, once the roof space is clear. A deodorising treatment can be applied afterwards to cut the smell that lingers in the ceiling. If you are not sure how much mess there is, the crew can check first and give you a price before starting.

A clean roof space means less smell, fewer flies and a better chance of spotting any new activity early. Homes in Morayfield with possums in the roof for months usually need this step. Keep the manhole area clear so the crew can move bags in and out. To book a possum waste clean-up, call 07 3543 7770 and tell us roughly how long the possums have been there.
