Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Three Way, TN

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.

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.

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.

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.

Who pays for dead animal cleanup in a rental?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or property manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

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.
