Dead Animal Removal Services Across Melbourne

When you notice a foul odour in your home, find a strange stain on the ceiling, or your pet won’t stop sniffing a particular spot – there’s a good chance a dead animal is the cause. At Oz Pest Controllers, we specialise in dead animal removal in Melbourne, helping homeowners and businesses restore cleanliness, safety, and peace of mind.

Whether it’s a deceased possum in the roof, a dead rat under the floorboards, or a bird stuck in the chimney, our licensed technicians can locate, remove, and sanitise the area quickly and discreetly.

Why You Need Professional Dead Animal Removal

1. Unpleasant Odours

A decaying animal emits strong, offensive smells that can linger for weeks if not handled promptly. DIY solutions rarely solve the problem fully.

2. Health Hazards

Decomposing carcasses attract flies, maggots, and bacteria, posing serious health risks including salmonella, leptospirosis, and other infections.

3. Secondary Pest Infestations

A dead animal can attract other pests such as ants, blowflies, and rodents. Prompt removal prevents further infestation.

4. Structural Damage

The bodily fluids from dead animals can stain walls, ceilings, and insulation. Removing the animal and sanitising the area is critical to avoid long-term damage.
