We are experts in dead animal removal, and take our job seriously. When removing dead animals, we do a COMPLETE job — not only do we remove the dead animal from your home or yard, we also decontaminate the area, deodorize it, and dispose of the animal or cremate it. If you aren't sure whether the stench in your house is due to a rotting carcass or another reason, we can sniff it out with our noses from our years of experience. We remove dead raccoons, dead opossums, dead skunks, dead squirrels, dead birds, even dead dogs and cats. We frequently remove dead rodents from inside walls, because poison kills rats and mice, who die in your house. We completely solve your dead animal problem by taking these steps:

  • Sniff out the dead animal if it is somewhere in your home
  • When necessary, for example if the animal is in a wall or under your house, cut a hole to remove the animal
  • Remove the dead animal, safely and completely (and seal the hole if needed)
  • Finish the job by decontaminating and deodorizing your home
  • Properly dispose of the dead animal through incineration or other means
  • Prevent it from happening again by finding out how they got in your house


Dead animal carcass removal is specialty work. Sometimes the job is simple, such as a dead opossum in the yard, in which case we can simply wear our gloves and respirator mask, bag the carcass, and take it away for incineration. Sometimes this is more complex, such as when the dead animal is under a home crawlspace, under a porch or deck or shed. Or if the animal is larger, such as a dog or a deer. The most complex cases are dead animals inside the house. The animal may have died inside the attic, or down in the walls, or the duct work, or any other part of the architecture. You may have a bad smell in your home, and you're not even sure what's causing it. We've removed not just dead animals, but rotting food, bad mold, etc. We specialize in locating the source of the smell, and we very commonly cut a hole in the ceiling or wall to remove the animal. We remove every bit of the carcass, mop up the juices, vacuum the maggots, spray it and wipe it down with disinfectant, cleaner, and we repair the hole we cut. In some cases we use ozone machines to neutralize odor.

Waterbury Dead Animal Tip:

Why do animals die inside a house?

It is quite normal to find a dead animal inside a house. Animals could die inside houses because of numerous reasons. Let's consider some of the reasons why animals could die inside a house. 


Poisoning

Animals could die inside houses from poisoning. The death of animals from poisoning could be because of the use of poisons for pest control. Poisoning is discouraged as a pest control method because of the anguish of the target critters before they die. 

Critters could get poisoned from consuming contaminated food. Poisoned critters are bound to be inactive. They will stay in a hidden area and endure the pain before they die. 

When animals die from poisoning, they could pass the toxic material to scavengers or other critters that feed on them. 

Animals that died from poisoning should be properly disposed of to prevent unintended consequences. 

Injury

Injured animals could die inside homes. When animals get injured, they tend to stay away from other animals and stick to hidden, secluded areas. This is so that, in such a vulnerable state, they are not attacked by predators or mistakenly injured by other animals. The carcasses of animals that die from injury could have open or closed wounds. 

Cold

Animals can die from exposure to extreme conditions. One of such conditions is cold. Exposure to cold can kill different critters and cause them to die inside a house. Animals survive cold periods through different means. They could hibernate or occupy dens in groups. If an animal is not fully adapted to an area or did not find suitable shelter, it could die from exposure to the cold. Animals that die inside houses are typically those that are not fully adapted to the area. 

No parental support

Critters spend a varying period of their lives with their parents. During this period, they receive all necessary life support from their parents. If young critters are abandoned by their parents, they could die inside houses. 

Typically, the parents of young critters leave their offspring in the nest when they go out to hunt for food and other materials. The parents could be killed. They could also be trapped if they are pests. 

If the parents of young critters die, the young critters are bound to not survive as they can die from cold, stress, and hunger. Young critters usually die under inhumane circumstances without their parents. This is usually why pest control is carried out with the young critters in mind. 

If young pest critters are in an area, they should be left till they are mature to be evicted. They could also be relocated by specialists. 

Sickness

Animals could die of sicknesses. Sick critters are bound to stay in or close to their dens since they are particularly vulnerable. Staying within or close to their dens protects animals from predation and undue stress. 

Different signs could indicate whether an animal was sick before dying. These signs include vomiting and bloody feces. Animals that died of sickness should be handled with extra caution. The removal and disposal of such animals should be left to experts. 

Fights

If animals establish territories in your house, it is normal for them to die from territorial fights. Male animals typically engage in territorial fights. Participants of the fight could die. Territorial fights are bound to continue until other participants submit to a dominant male. If a dominant male does not emerge soon enough, casualties could result from the fight. 

Obstacles

Animals that occupy tiny hidden spaces could get stuck in such spaces and die. This is especially true of the animals that infest chimneys. They could get stuck in the chimney because it was too difficult to get out from, die, and begin to decompose. The odor from the decomposing carcass usually attracts occupants of the infested property. Infesting critters could also be stuck in walls and other crawl spaces.

Natural causes

Animals could infest an area, have a good and nice life, and eventually die of natural causes. Animals that die of natural causes in homes include those with short lifespans. Aging critters could infest a house and die of natural causes. 

A dead animal inside a house could die from any of the causes highlighted above. The knowledge of the cause of death will inform one of the proper removal and disposal process to take.
