Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in West Liberty, KY

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

What diseases can a dead animal carry?

Dead animals can carry bacteria, parasites and viruses that pass to people and pets through touch or contaminated surfaces. Wild animals may also carry illnesses such as rabies. Avoid contact and let a cleanup team handle removal.
