Why Professional Assessment May Be Required
A dead animal may cause an unpleasant odour and attract flies or other insects as decomposition progresses. Fluids or contamination may also affect nearby insulation, flooring or building materials, depending on the animal’s location.
The source of an odour cannot always be confirmed without inspection. Similar smells may also be caused by drainage, plumbing, mould, rubbish or other property issues.
Where a carcass is located in a suitable accessible area, removal and appropriate treatment may be possible. Inaccessible locations may require a builder, roofer or other qualified trade to provide access.
Signs That May Indicate a Dead Animal
- An unexplained odour that becomes stronger in one area
- Increased fly activity near a roof space, vent, wall or subfloor
- Staining or discolouration near the suspected location
- Previous rodent or wildlife activity followed by silence
- An odour near an accessible roof space, subfloor or storage area
- Pets repeatedly reacting to one section of the property
These signs do not confirm that a dead animal is present. Plumbing, drainage, mould and other property issues may produce similar odours. Inspection may be required to identify the likely source. Contact a dead animal removal Gold Coast now!
