Dead Possum Removal - Fast, Careful and Discreet
A dead possum is an unpleasant, worrying discovery. Whether the carcass is in plain sight or hidden in the roof, the problem only gets worse the longer it is left. Removing the possum is only part of the job - the area also needs cleaning, and it helps to know how to prevent it happening again. For complete dead possum removal, call David's Dead Animal Removal. We work at houses, schools, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, offices and other properties, and we can handle anything from a partly decomposed carcass to a possum that has died somewhere you cannot reach. Please note: possums are protected native wildlife in Australia. We remove possums that have died. If you have a live possum, contact your local wildlife rescue or wildlife authority.
Signs There May Be a Dead Possum on Your Property
You don't always see a dead animal - often you notice the signs first. Common signs include:
- A strong, persistent rotting smell that gets worse over time
- Flies or maggots gathering in one spot
- Dark or greasy stains on ceilings, walls or floors
- Scratching or scurrying noises that suddenly stop
- Pets sniffing, scratching or staring at one spot
- Ants following a trail to a single area
If you notice any of these, call us. We inspect the whole property to find the animal, even in hidden places.

How We Remove a Dead Possum
- Locate the possumIf the possum is visible, we can proceed straight to removal. If you can only smell it, we inspect the roof void, walls and subfloor to find it - and check whether there is more than one.
- Careful removalThe carcass is picked up with the right equipment and protective gear, then packaged and taken away for responsible disposal.
- Clean the areaWe clean the affected area and deal with stains and residue so your space is fresh and ready to use again.
- Prevention adviceWhere needed, we suggest simple ways to close off entry points so possums are less likely to get into the same area again.
