How does dead animal removal in Reservoir work?
The useful question is not what died. It is where the air carrying the smell is coming from, because that is what narrows the search. The job is finding it, and in Reservoir 3073 that search has a sensible starting point: under the floor first Housing on stumps gives a rodent or possum a dry, sheltered run directly beneath the rooms, and that is where most of them end up. It is also the best news you can get, because reaching a subfloor does not mean cutting plaster. Once located it comes out through existing access wherever possible, and only as a last resort through the smallest opening that will reach it. The blowflies, maggots and carpet beetles it has drawn in are treated on the same visit, and the cavity is neutralised rather than sprayed over. Call 0436 389 114, seven days.

Dead animal removal in Reservoir 3073: where it usually is
Reservoir is postwar brick and weatherboard on large blocks, nearly always with a shed. Large blocks mean more outbuildings, more stored material and more places to check before the house itself.
Edwardes Lake, the creek corridors and open parkland supply the area, and water nearby keeps activity up through the warmer months.

- Large blocks with sheds and stored materials against fences.
- Edwardes Lake and creek corridors close to the streets.
- Mixed brick and weatherboard, so subfloors vary block to block.
- Under the floor first is where we start on this housing.

Dead Animal Removal Reservoir: what the job covers
Getting the animal out is the visible half. Treating what it attracted and neutralising the space is the half that decides whether it is over.
Ducted heating and cooling checked
A dead rodent in ducting spreads the smell through every room the system serves, which is why it can feel like the whole house rather than one spot.
Entry point checked on the same visit
Looking for how it got in while we are already up there. A second trip to find that out is a second charge.
Odour treated at the source
Neutralising the material the smell has soaked into, rather than scenting the room it happens to vent into.
Locating it rather than guessing
Smell intensity through the day, fly activity, staining on plaster or cornice, and where the air moves. We narrow it down before anything opens.
Protected wildlife handled lawfully
A dead possum is still covered by the Wildlife Act 1975, so dead possum removal is carried out and disposed of the way the law requires.
A written record
What was found, where, what was treated and what still needs closing. Useful for a landlord, an agent or an insurer.

What we check on Reservoir housing
Edwardes Lake, the creek corridors and open parkland supply the area, and water nearby keeps activity up through the warmer months. Housing on stumps gives a rodent or possum a dry, sheltered run directly beneath the rooms, and that is where most of them end up. It is also the best news you can get, because reaching a subfloor does not mean cutting plaster.
That is why two jobs in the same street can run differently. The pest is the same, the building is not, and the building decides how long it takes and what it costs.
- Large blocks with sheds and stored materials against fences.
- Edwardes Lake and creek corridors close to the streets.
- Mixed brick and weatherboard, so subfloors vary block to block.
- Roof voids checked to the far corners, not from the manhole.
- Subfloor entered where the construction allows it.
Call and we will tell you what today looks like.
What it usually turns out to be
Most of these calls end with a rat, a possum or a bird, and the three behave differently enough that identifying it early saves time.
Size sets the smell and the timeline. A bird in a flue is done in days, a rat in a cavity runs about a week, and a possum in a warm roof can dominate a house for a fortnight and leave staining behind it.
- Rodents in cavities, joist runs and subfloor bearers.
- Possums in roof voids, which is the heaviest version of the job.
- Birds in flues, vents and roof spaces, usually the quickest to clear.
Call and we will tell you what today looks like.
From the first smell to a clear room in Reservoir
No surprises, and no price that changes once we are on site.
We narrow down the location
Working from the smell, the flies and the staining rather than opening things up hopefully.
Write down what still needs doing
Including anything that needs a builder or a roof plumber, so nothing is left as a verbal aside on the way out.
The obvious places first
Roof manhole, subfloor access, under the sink, behind the fridge. A surprising number are found in the first ten minutes.
What caused it
We tell you whether there is a live population and what needs sealing, because the opening that let it in is still there.
Neutralise, then ventilate
Treating the cavity and telling you how to air the space so the residual smell clears instead of settling into soft furnishings.
Call and we will tell you what today looks like.
