The Dead Animal Removal Process in Deposit

1. Describe and locate

The team asks where the smell is strongest, how long it has been there and what could have died, then plans the search.

2. Find and bag

The animal is located and sealed in heavy bags, and insects and debris around it are collected.

3. Remove the animal and the damage

The carcass, nest and soaked insulation are packed out, and the area is cleaned to bare structure.

4. Sanitize and inspect

Joists, subfloors and walls are disinfected and deodorized, and the crew lists any repairs for other trades.

What Deposit Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House

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

How long does a dead animal smell last?

The smell can last a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the animal, the weather and where it died. It fades faster once the animal and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated.

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.

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.

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.

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.
