How much does dead animal removal cost on the Sunshine Coast?+
Standard removal from accessible locations typically costs $180–$350, while complex removals requiring roof or wall access range from $350–$650. Final pricing depends on carcass location, decomposition stage, accessibility, sanitisation requirements, and whether emergency after-hours service is needed.
How long does the dead animal removal process take?+
Most removals are completed within 1–2 hours including extraction, sanitisation, and odour treatment. Complex cases involving difficult access points, extensive contamination, or large animals may require 2–4 hours. Odour elimination is often immediate, though severe cases may need follow-up treatment after 24-48 hours.
Do you offer a guarantee on odour elimination?+
Yes, we guarantee complete odour removal when our full sanitisation and deodorisation protocol is followed. If odours persist after our initial treatment, we return for additional enzymatic treatment at no extra charge. Our multi-stage approach addresses odour sources in porous materials, ensuring permanent elimination rather than temporary masking.
Are you licensed and insured for dead animal removal?+
Absolutely—Fresho Pest Control holds full Queensland pest management licensing, public liability insurance, and wildlife handling permits required for legal animal removal. Our technicians are trained in biosecurity protocols, safe handling procedures, and proper disposal methods complying with all state environmental regulations.
What types of dead animals do you remove?+
We remove all deceased wildlife and domestic animals including possums, rats, mice, birds, bats, snakes, lizards, cats, and occasionally larger animals like wallabies. Our service covers animals in any location—roof cavities, wall voids, subfloors, gardens, swimming pools, water tanks, and commercial properties.
How quickly can you respond to dead animal removal requests?+
We offer same-day service for most Sunshine Coast locations when you call before 2pm on business days. Emergency after-hours service is available 7 days per week with typical response times of 2–4 hours. We prioritise calls involving severe odour, indoor locations, or properties with vulnerable occupants like young children or elderly residents.
Will the smell go away immediately after removal?+
Our professional deodorisation treatment eliminates most odours immediately after the removal and sanitisation process is complete. In cases of advanced decomposition where fluids have saturated insulation or timber, residual odours may persist for 24–48 hours before dissipating completely. We provide follow-up treatment if needed to ensure total odour elimination.
Can you remove dead animals from inside walls or roof cavities?+
Yes, we specialise in accessing difficult locations including wall cavities, roof spaces, subfloors, and other concealed areas where animals commonly die. Our technicians use thermal imaging, borescopes, and odour detection to pinpoint exact locations, then safely create access points if necessary, performing repairs or coordinating with your builder afterward.
