"The smell in our laundry was horrific. We couldn't find it. Good Guy Pest Control came out, found a dead rat behind the wall within 10 minutes, cut a neat hole, removed it, and sealed it back up. The smell was gone..."
Positive: Professionalism"We had a dead possum in the roof in the middle of summer. Unbearable. They arrived same day, removed it, and sprayed something that killed the odour straight away. Life savers."
Positive: Responsiveness"Sadly our cat passed away under the house. The team was very respectful and handled the removal with dignity. They also sanitized the area. Highly recommend."
Positive: QualityWhy You Must Act Fast
Finding a dead animal in or around your property isn't just unpleasant—it creates a serious biological hazard. As the carcass decomposes, it releases airborne pathogens, bacteria, and horrible odours that soak into your curtains, carpets, and insulation.
Attracts Pests: Flies, maggots, and beetles will infest the area within 48 hours.
Property Damage: Bodily fluids can stain ceilings, ruin plasterboard, and soak into floorboards.
Health Risk: Decomposing tissue releases harmful bacteria into your air vents.
The Solution: Our specialized removal & sterilization process restores 100% hygiene.
How We Get The Smell Out
Locate & Inspect
We use thermal imaging and experience to pinpoint the exact location of the carcass in your roof, wall, or sub-floor without guessing.
Surgical Access
We gain access with minimal disruption. If it's in a wall, we cut a neat, repairable hole. If it's in the roof, we crawl to it.
Sanitize & Deodorize
Removal isn't enough. We treat the area with hospital-grade enzymes to kill bacteria and neutralize the smell instantly.
Seal The Entry
We find how the animal got in and seal the entry point using professional materials so you never face this issue again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely. This is our specialty. Animals often die in hard-to-reach places like wall cavities or deep in the roof insulation. We use our experience (and thermal imaging if required) to locate the exact spot. We find what you can't.
Once the source (the carcass) is removed, 90% of the battle is won. We then treat the area with a hospital-grade biological enzyme spray that eats the odour-causing bacteria. You will notice a massive improvement immediately, and the smell typically vanishes completely within 24 hours.
Only if absolutely necessary. We always try to access via the roof or sub-floor first. If the animal is trapped inside a wall cavity, we may need to cut a small access hole. The Good Guy Difference is that we are also licensed handymen—so we can cut a neat square and even repair/patch the gyprock for you, whereas most pest controllers leave a hole.
Yes, decomposing animals release airborne pathogens and bacteria. They also attract blowflies and maggots which spread disease to your kitchen surfaces. It is classified as a bio-hazard and should be removed by a professional with protective gear.
We remove dead possums, rats, mice, birds, and feral cats. We also provide a respectful retrieval service for deceased family pets found under the house or in difficult-to-reach areas.
We treat dead animal removal as a priority emergency. In most cases, we offer Same Day Service across Melbourne to ensure the smell doesn't get worse. Call us immediately on 0478 661 110.
