What Douglass Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House
What should I do first if I smell something dead?
Open windows where it is safe, keep children and pets away, and try to note where the smell is strongest. Do not tear open walls. Call Douglass Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
Can I remove a dead animal myself?
Sometimes. A small animal in plain sight can be bagged with gloves and a heavy bag, sealed and disposed of properly. Hidden, large or long-dead animals are a different job, because fluids soak into materials and germs can spread.
How do you find a dead animal in a wall?
The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and looks for flies and stains. Sometimes a small camera or a small opening in drywall is needed. Once the animal is found, it is removed and the area is cleaned.
Is a dead animal dangerous?
It can be. Fluids can carry germs, and pests such as flies and fleas spread through the home. Do not touch it bare-handed, keep children and pets away and wash your hands well. People with asthma or sensitive lungs should stay out of the area.
Who removes dead animals from the road or yard?
Rules vary by city and county. Animal services or public works often remove animals from public roads and property, while private property is usually the owner's responsibility. Call your city or county animal services to learn what applies.
Do cleanup crews deal with live animals?
No. Wildlife and pest professionals deal with live animals and seal entry points. You get a cleanup team for carcasses, fluids, nests and odor, and the two services often work together on the same job.
