Clearing the mess out of a roof space deals with what you can see, but roof cavity deodorising in Hendra goes further, treating the surfaces once droppings, old bedding and soiled insulation have already been removed. This is usually booked right after a waste removal visit, while the crew is already set up in the roof space, so there is no need to arrange a separate day for it. Some homes only need a light treatment, while others need a more thorough pass depending on how long the possum was using the space.
The crew focuses on the areas where the build-up was heaviest, along with nearby timber and any exposed sarking, since residue and odour can linger in these spots even once the bulk of the mess is gone. Insulation staying in place near the affected area is treated as well, not just the section that has already been removed or replaced. The products used are chosen with roof spaces in mind, rather than general household products. Ventilation in the roof space is checked at the same time, since better airflow helps any remaining smell settle down more quickly over the next few weeks.

For homes in Hendra where a possum has been in residence for more than a season, this step is often what separates a roof space that still smells from one that does not. The crew will flag if a second visit is worth booking once the first treatment has had time to settle.
