Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces
Carcass removal from walls, attics, crawl spaces, vents, chimneys and ductwork
Removal of dead animals from yards, garages, sheds, porches and under decks
Follow-up odor checks and notes on repairs that other trades will need to make
Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Waianae, HI

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.

Why is insulation removed after a dead animal?

Insulation soaks up fluids and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Leaving it in place means the smell can return. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.

Can a dead animal in the ductwork spread smell through the house?

Yes. Animals can die inside ducts, and the heating and cooling system then moves the odor through every room. Cleanup includes removing the animal and treating vents and duct openings.

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.

What can be saved after a dead animal?

Hard surfaces, wood framing and items in sealed containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that soaked up fluids are generally removed. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
