Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Kenton, OH

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.

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.

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.

Can a dead animal in the wall make me sick?

The air itself is rarely the main concern, but germs on the carcass and fluids, plus flies and other pests, can spread through the home. The odor can also bother people with asthma. Prompt removal lowers the risk.

How much does dead animal removal cost?

It depends on where the animal is, its size and how much material must be removed. A pickup in plain sight costs less than a job inside a wall. The team sets the price after seeing the space.

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.
