Dead Animal in a Wall, Attic or Crawl Space in Walls, MS

Dead animal removal service teams handle what pest control and wildlife professionals often leave behind: carcasses that cannot be reached, fluids in insulation, stains and the lingering smell.

When an animal dies in a wall, attic or vent in Walls, call Walls Biohazard Cleanup Help and get a crew that tracks the smell to its source. You get the carcass removed, the area disinfected and the odor treated, anywhere in DeSoto County.

With roughly 56 inches of annual rainfall in Walls, damp crawl spaces and wall voids make dead animal fluids and odor linger longer. Most housing in DeSoto County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses.

Removal of dead animals from yards, garages, sheds, porches and under decks

Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Walls, MS

Is it safe to stay home during dead animal cleanup?

For work in an attic or crawl space, many people stay in the home while the crew works with containment. For heavy odor or large animals, you may prefer to be away. The team will say what makes sense for your situation.

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.

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.

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.

Can I remove a dead animal myself?

Sometimes. A small animal in plain sight can be bagged with gloves and a heavy bag, sealed and disposed of properly. Hidden, large or long-dead animals are a different job, because fluids soak into materials and germs can spread.

What can be saved after a dead animal?

Hard surfaces, wood framing and items in sealed containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that soaked up fluids are generally removed. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
