Possum urine has a strong, sharp smell that can hang around long after the possum has gone. In the warm, humid weather around kippa Ring the smell often gets worse on hot afternoons as the roof heats up. Possum odour removal targets that smell at the source, in the roof space above your ceiling.
The crew we book first finds the worst areas, which are usually around the den and the spots where the possum came in and out. Soiled insulation and droppings are removed, since no treatment will fix a smell while the source is still there. The crew then applies an odour treatment to the timbers and the back of the ceiling, and may fog the roof space so the treatment reaches corners that are hard to get to.

Most people notice a big drop in the smell within a few days, though a faint odour can linger in humid weather while the treatment works. If urine has stained the ceiling, the mark may need a stain-blocking paint to hide it, which the crew can point out. Odour removal pairs well with a droppings clean-up, and many people book both at once.
