What New Castle Northwest Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House

Can cleanup stop animals from getting in again?

No. Cleanup removes the carcass and odor but does not close entry points. A wildlife or pest professional can seal gaps. Removing odor does help, since scent can draw other animals to the same spot.

What if a pet died at home?

You do not have to handle it alone. A cleanup team can remove the body with care, clean bedding and floors, and disinfect the area. It is done privately and gently, so the family is spared the hardest part.

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 New Castle Northwest Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.

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.

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.
