Dead Animal Removal in Sydney — what's involved
Dead animal removal involves locating the carcass — usually by smell, flies and a roof void or sub-floor inspection — removing and bagging it for disposal, then sanitising the area and applying an odour treatment. Rats, mice, possums and birds in roofs, wall cavities and sub-floors are the most common jobs in Sydney homes.
Signs of a dead animal
- A strong, sweet rotting smell that gets worse in warm weather
- Flies gathering around a ceiling, cornice, vent or wall
- Staining appearing on a ceiling or wall
- The smell started soon after rodent baiting
- Scratching noises in the roof that have suddenly stopped
- A dead animal visible in the yard, pool or sub-floor

Dead Animal Removal FAQs
How much does dead animal removal cost?
It depends on where the animal is and how easy it is to reach. Tell us where the smell is strongest and we will quote. Photos of any staining or flies help.
Can you find a dead rat in the wall?
Often, yes — we use smell, flies and inspection to narrow down the location. If it is inside a sealed cavity, we will talk you through access options before doing anything.
How long does the smell last if I leave it?
It can last from a couple of weeks to over a month depending on the animal size and temperature. Removal and odour treatment is much faster.
Do you remove dead possums?
Yes. We remove dead possums, rats, mice, birds and other small animals from roofs, sub-floors, yards and pools.
Can you come today?
Yes — same-day and after-hours callouts are available across Sydney, subject to technician availability.
