A Horrible Smell From The Ceiling Leaves Resident Curious

Our client called to let us know that she had a horrible smell coming from her ceiling and she suspected a dead animal. In most cases, these suspicions would be true, but we thought an inspection was still needed.

Upon arrival, it was very evident that there was something deceased in the property and an inspection of the ceiling void found a dead rat infested with flies and maggots.

Our technician removed the carcass and supplied an odour bag to remove the smell. He also treated the area to kill any flies, maggots, and harmful bacteria that may have been left behind. We find that this additional treatment provides the best outcome for our clients. We have had several call-outs to clients who removed the carcass themselves or had another pest control organisation do it. This later led to us treating these ceilings for maggots and flies. Several of these clients had maggots falling from their ceilings.

Please don’t wait until you see maggots, give us a call when you first smell something. We will provide the required treatment to ensure that your ceiling void is not a breeding ground for pests that you don’t want in your home. Remember, a horrible smell from the ceiling is a horrible thing to have.
