Why Rochedale South 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 Rochedale South
Rochedale South (QLD 4123) is part of Logan, about 18 km from the Brisbane CBD, and it is on our regular run. Brick lowsets and split-level homes from the 1970s and 1980s, many with pools and large backyards.
We are called to Rochedale South most often for termite inspections on ageing slabs, possums in roofs near the bushier streets and spiders around pools.
In Rochedale South we search the roof void, wall cavities and subfloor, follow the smell and flies, and check for the gaps animals used to get in. Many Rochedale South homes were treated for termites decades ago; if you do not know when the barrier was last renewed, book an inspection.

Pricing
Dead Animal Removal Prices in Rochedale South
A rat in an easy-to-reach roof is quick. A possum in a wall cavity takes longer. These things set the price.
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.
