Professional Dead Animal Removal in Mernda

This process minimises damage to your property while effectively eliminating the problem.

The time required depends on the situation’s complexity. For easily accessible animals, the removal process might take 30-60 minutes. For animals in hard-to-reach areas like wall cavities or under flooring, the process might take 2-3 hours. Complete services including sanitisation and deodorisation typically take 2-4 hours total. We’ll provide a time estimate after assessing your specific situation.

Our technicians use advanced detection methods including thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and their extensive experience to locate dead animals, even in concealed spaces. In the rare case that we cannot locate the animal during our initial visit, we’ll implement odour control measures and schedule a follow-up inspection. We’re committed to resolving the issue and will work until the animal is found and removed.

Yes, we can repair access points created during the removal process. Our technicians are trained to make minimal, strategic openings when necessary, and we can patch and seal these areas after removal. For more extensive repairs, we can coordinate with trusted contractors. We always discuss any potential property access needs with you before proceeding and aim to minimise disruption to your property.

Dead animals pose several health risks, including bacterial infections from pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli, parasites that may transfer to humans or pets, disease transmission from vectors like fleas and ticks that leave the dead host, and respiratory issues from airborne particles and decomposition odours. Additionally, decomposing animals attract other pests that can bring additional health hazards. Professional removal eliminates these risks.

In most cases, it’s safe to remain in your home while waiting for service, especially if the dead animal is in an isolated area like an attic or wall cavity. However, if the odour is overwhelming or if you or family members experience symptoms like nausea, headaches, or respiratory irritation, it’s advisable to limit time in affected areas. We prioritise emergency cases where health concerns are present.

Our sanitisation process includes removing all contaminated materials (like insulation or nesting materials), applying hospital-grade disinfectants that kill bacteria and viruses, using enzymatic cleaners to break down organic matter, applying commercial-grade deodorisers specifically designed for decomposition odours, and in severe cases, implementing ozone treatment to eliminate persistent odours and airborne pathogens.

With our complete removal and deodorisation service, most odours are eliminated immediately or within 24 hours. For severe cases or situations where decomposition fluids have soaked into building materials, residual odours might take 2-3 days to fully dissipate. Our deodorisation process is thorough and effective, addressing both the source and any affected materials to ensure complete odour elimination.
