A possum that has spent any real time in a roof space usually leaves behind a build-up of droppings, leaves, bark and old bedding, often concentrated in one corner near where it was sleeping through the day. Possum waste removal in Hendra deals with that build-up once the roof space is confirmed clear, rather than leaving it sitting under the insulation indefinitely. Some homes only need a light clean, while others need a good deal more clearing out than the caller expected.
The crew opens up access to the affected part of the roof space and clears out the build-up along with any insulation that has been soiled or pulled apart in the process. Gloves and the right protective gear are used throughout, since droppings and old bedding are not something to handle without them. Everything removed is bagged and taken away rather than left loose in the ceiling space. This is one of the more physical parts of the job, and the crew brings the right gear to handle it properly.
This is usually booked at the same time as sealing, since there is little point closing up a roof in Hendra while old nesting material is still sitting inside it. Once the area is cleared, the crew will also flag any timber or sarking that looks like it needs a closer look, or any insulation that seems worth replacing. Where insulation has absorbed a strong smell, this is noted separately, since it may need more than a simple clean to fully resolve.
