Dead Animal Removal Somerton

We offer 24/7 emergency service with response times typically within 60 minutes for urgent calls across Somerton. For non-emergency situations, we can schedule a convenient time within the same day or next day.

Yes, we operate 365 days a year including weekends, public holidays, and after hours. Dead animal situations require immediate attention, so we are always available when you need us most.

Decomposition odour builds sharply over the first three to seven days, plateaus, then slowly fades. A smell that has sat at exactly the same strength for a month is more likely plumbing or moisture. The other giveaways are blowflies appearing indoors at windows and downlights, and a yellow brown stain spreading on a ceiling with no plumbing above it. If it turns out to be a drain or damp, we will tell you that rather than sell you a treatment you do not need.

Pricing varies based on the type of animal, location, and accessibility. We provide indicative pricing over the phone and a firm price on site before any work starts, with no hidden fees. Complex removals from walls or roofs cost more than an accessible one.

Our call-out fee is included in the service price. We provide transparent quotes before starting work, so you know exactly what you will pay with no surprise charges or hidden fees.

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, cash, and bank transfers. Payment is due upon completion of service, and we can provide invoices for your records or business purposes if required.

We remove all types of deceased animals including possums, birds, cats, dogs, snakes, lizards, rats, mice, and other animals. We handle both domestic pets and native animals with appropriate care and disposal methods for each.

Yes. Odour elimination and sanitisation are included with every removal service. We use professional grade deodorisers and disinfectants to eliminate the smell and the bacteria behind it, rather than masking either.

We work within all Victoria environmental protection requirements and use approved disposal facilities. Native animals are handled under the applicable waste direction, while domestic animals can be arranged for cremation services if requested by the owner.

Yes. A decomposing carcass releases bacteria such as salmonella and leptospira into the cavity dust, and the fleas and mites living on the animal move toward the nearest warm host once the body cools. That is why every removal we do in Somerton includes antimicrobial treatment of the affected area, not just extraction of the animal.

In most cases no. We seal and contain the work area, and the products we use are safe around occupied homes once dry. If the contamination is extensive, or someone in the household is immunocompromised, pregnant or asthmatic, we will tell you upfront how long to stay clear of the affected room.

We can. Possums and other protected species are handled under the native wildlife protection requirements that apply in Victoria, and disposal goes through approved facilities rather than general waste. You get a written summary of what was found and treated, which is what landlords and insurers usually ask for.
