A dead rat or mouse inside the house is hard to ignore. The smell usually builds over a couple of days and gets worse on warm afternoons in Loganholme. You may also notice flies gathering at one window or a stain spreading on the ceiling. It often happens after bait has been used inside, because the rodent feeds, then dies somewhere out of reach. When you call, we give upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
Tracking down the source takes patience. The crew we book starts where the smell is strongest and works outwards. They check the roof cavity, lift insulation, look along wall plates and into the subfloor, and check behind appliances and inside cupboards. Occasionally, the rodent is inside a wall cavity and a small hole in the plasterboard is needed to reach it. The crew will talk to you before cutting and show you where the patch will go.
- Smell traced through the roof, walls, subfloor and cupboards
- The dead rodent bagged and removed from the property
- Soiled insulation and droppings nearby cleared
- Deodoriser applied to the area to cut the smell
- Entry points noted to help stop a repeat
Once the rodent is gone, the smell usually drops away within a day or two. If more than one rodent has died, the crew will check for others while they are there, and they will talk to you about switching to traps inside to avoid it happening again.
No one should have to live with that smell in the Loganholme heat. Call 07 3543 7772 and we will book a crew to find the source.
