Bad smell in the roof? 24/7 line

Dead Animal Removal Kangaroo Point

Kangaroo Point sits on the river peninsula below the Story Bridge, with its famous cliffs, apartment towers and old timber homes. When something dies in a Kangaroo Point roof, wall or subfloor, we find it, remove it, clean and deodorise the area, and close the gap it came in through.

Dead bats and flying foxes must not be touched. Call us and keep pets away.

Smell Something Dead? Do This First

In Kangaroo Point the smell usually hits after a few hot days: a sweet, heavy odour that gets stronger near one wall or one ceiling.

A few simple steps keep the household safe until we get there.

Found a dead bat or flying fox?

Do not touch it, even with gloves. Bats can carry Australian bat lyssavirus. Keep pets away and call us.

  1. 1

    Do not cut into walls

    We can usually find the animal without cutting more than needed.

  2. 2

    Keep pets and kids away

    Dead animals carry bacteria and parasites.

  3. 3

    Note where it smells strongest

    Which room, wall or ceiling. It helps us find it faster.

  4. 4

    Air the room

    Open windows and run a fan to reduce the smell.

  5. Then call us on 07 3916 7673. Answered day and night, with same day visits on most days.

Local conditions

Why Kangaroo Point Homes Get Dead Animal Smells

Rodents and wildlife live close to homes across South East Queensland, and some die where they shelter.

Local Notes for Kangaroo Point

We look after homes and businesses in Kangaroo Point, postcode 4169, in the centre of the city in Inner Brisbane. High-rise apartments and older walk-up units sit beside a few pre-war cottages and Queenslanders on the back streets.

Cockroaches in apartments, rats around bins and the riverbank, and pigeons on balconies are the main calls.

In Kangaroo Point we search the roof void, wall cavities and subfloor, follow the smell and flies, and check for the gaps animals used to get in. Kangaroo Point apartment blocks should keep bin rooms clean and sealed; rats from the riverbank follow the bins.

What is at stake

Why a Dead Animal Should Be Removed

Leaving it means more smell, more flies and more cleaning.

01

Bacteria and parasites

Carcasses carry germs, fleas and mites.

02

Flies and maggots

Blowflies breed in carcasses and come inside.

03

Ceiling stains

Fluids stain and weaken plasterboard.

04

Lasting smell

The odour soaks into insulation and timber.

Pricing

Dead Animal Removal Prices in Kangaroo Point

A rat in an easy-to-reach roof is quick. A possum in a wall cavity takes longer. These things set the price.

Call 07 3916 7673 Get a quote

What sets the price

  • Where it is. Roof voids are easier than wall cavities or tight subfloors.

  • Size of the animal. Larger animals need more cleaning and deodorising.

  • Access. Cutting into walls or ceilings adds time and repairs.

  • Sealing. Closing the entry point is priced on the day.

You get an upfront price once the technician has seen the job, and that is the price you pay. No hidden costs.
