Dead Rat Removal Melbourne Homes Can Book Today
A dead rat or mouse in a wall or ceiling gives off a strong smell for weeks and draws blowflies. It is strongest near the carcass, but it travels through cavities and ducts, which is why guessing and cutting holes rarely works.
We trace it by smell, flies, staining and the rodent runways, remove it through the smallest opening needed, then sanitise and deodorise so the smell goes with it.

If You Bait
- Use tamper-resistant, secured stations only
- Record where and when every station was placed
- Never leave loose throw-packs in roof voids
- Coordinate timing with neighbours who are also baiting
- Prefer trapping in ceilings where retrieval is hard
After Removal

Common Questions
Still unsure? Describe what you heard, saw, found or smelled.
How much does dead rodent removal cost in Melbourne?
Dead rodent removal starts from $149, depending on where the carcass is and how hard it is to reach. You get a written quote before any work starts.
How long does a dead rat smell last?
Left alone, the smell can last two to three weeks or longer in a warm roof or closed wall cavity, and it attracts blowflies. Removing the carcass is the only real fix.
Can you find a dead mouse in the wall?
Yes. We narrow it down by smell, flies, staining and runways, then reach it through the smallest opening needed and deodorise the cavity.
Do you offer same day dead rat removal near me?
Yes, across Melbourne subject to availability. We answer 24/7 on 0435 073 966.
Why did a rat die in my wall?
Usually after baiting, when a rat or mouse goes back to a cavity to die. It also means rodents have a way in, so we check the entry point and any other activity.
Will you stop it happening again?
After removal we check how the rodent got in, and can seal the gaps with a 12 month written warranty on sealed points.
