A typical dead animal removal & cleanup job includes:
- Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions

- Gentle, private cleanup after a family pet has died at home

Dead Animal Smell and Removal Questions Answered in Rolling Roads
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.
What should I do with a dead animal I can see?
Do not touch it bare-handed. Wear heavy gloves, place it in a heavy bag, seal it and dispose of it according to local rules. Wash your hands well afterward. If it is large or you are unsure, call for help.
What rules apply to dead animal removal in North Carolina?
Rules for removing and disposing of dead animals vary by city and county, and animal services handle public property in many places. Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials. Ask your city or county what applies where you are.
How do I get a dead mouse smell out of a wall?
The smell comes from the carcass and any fluids, so the animal has to be found and removed. Air fresheners only cover it. After removal, the area is cleaned and treated, which usually clears the smell.
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 Rolling Roads Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
Why does a dead animal smell so bad?
As an animal decomposes, bacteria break down tissue and release gases with a strong, sickly-sweet smell. In an enclosed wall or attic, that odor has nowhere to go and spreads through the house. Removing the source is the only real fix.
