The job isn't finished while the smell remains
Every pest technician has taken the call: the baiting program worked, but now there's a dead rat in the wall cavity and the client's living room smells like it. Decomposition odour can linger for weeks after the pest problem itself is solved — and to the client, the smell is the problem. The same goes for residual chemical smells after treatments.
Odour elimination is a natural extension of pest work, and it's a service clients will pay for on the spot.
Why pest professionals carry Fresh Wave
- Removes dead rodent and decomposition odours — treat the cavity or void directly and control the room odour while decomposition finishes.
- Neutralises residual chemical smells after spray treatments, so clients re-enter a fresh space.
- Safe immediately after treatments — non-toxic and compatible with occupied homes and businesses.
- An easy upsell — add an odour elimination line item to dead animal removal and rodent jobs.
- Professional-friendly formats — the 3.78L Surface Spray refill keeps your per-job cost low.
A field-proven approach for dead animal odours
- Locate and remove the carcass where accessible; bag and disinfect the area.
- Apply Surface Spray to the affected void, subfloor or roof space and any absorbent materials nearby.
- Place a 473mL Odour Eliminator Gel in the affected room — or in the ceiling/wall access point — to neutralise odour continuously until decomposition is complete.
- Leave the gel with the client as part of the job; it keeps working for up to 90 days.
