What Cowarts Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House
Who do I call to remove a dead animal from my property?
On private property, you usually hire a dead animal removal service or cleanup team. Animal services may remove animals from public roads and property, and rules vary by city and county. For a hidden or large animal, describe the smell and location when you call.
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.
How long does a dead animal smell last?
The smell can last a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the animal, the weather and where it died. It fades faster once the animal and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated.
Is it safe to stay home during dead animal cleanup?
For work in an attic or crawl space, many people stay in the home while the crew works with containment. For heavy odor or large animals, you may prefer to be away. The team will say what makes sense for your situation.
Will the smell go away on its own?
Eventually it fades, but that can take weeks, and fluids that soaked into insulation, carpet or wood keep releasing odor. Removing the animal and treating the area is much faster than waiting.
