A sickly smell that gets worse over a few days, sometimes with stains on the ceiling or insects gathering near a vent, usually means an animal has died somewhere you cannot see. Around Dinmore, it is most often a rat or mouse in the roof void, wall cavity or under the floor, sometimes after baiting. In warm weather the smell spreads quickly and can hang around for weeks if the animal is not removed.
When you ring, we ask where the smell is strongest, how long it has been there and whether there has been any recent baiting. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book tracks down the source, which may mean climbing into the roof, crawling under a raised home or pulling out appliances. Once they find it, they bag and remove the animal and clean up the area.
A dead animal removal job generally covers:
- Searching roof voids, underfloors and wall gaps for the source
- Removing the animal along with soiled insulation or nesting material
- Wiping down and deodorising the affected area
- Pointers on how the animal got in
- Options for rat and mouse control so more do not move in
Now and then, the animal is sealed inside a wall where it cannot be reached without cutting into the lining. In that case, the crew explains the options first and any extra work is priced upfront before it goes ahead. Try not to mask the smell with sprays, as it makes the source harder to pin down.
