Glen Dale gets about 46 inches of rain a year, and wet weather drives wildlife into attics, crawl spaces and sheds where they can die and be hard to find.

What dead animal removal & cleanup covers:

  • Follow-up odor checks and notes on repairs that other trades will need to make

The Dead Animal Removal Process in Glen Dale

1. Find the source

The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and opens a small section only when needed.

2. Contain the area

Barriers keep odor and dust from spreading while technicians suit up and open access to the space.

3. Take out soaked materials

Insulation, carpet, padding or drywall that absorbed fluids are cut out, bagged and removed.

4. Disinfect and deodorize

Surfaces are disinfected and odor is treated, so the space is comfortable to use again.

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Glen Dale, WV

Can a dead animal in the ductwork spread smell through the house?

Yes. Animals can die inside ducts, and the heating and cooling system then moves the odor through every room. Cleanup includes removing the animal and treating vents and duct openings.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can I just leave a dead animal in the wall?

It is not a good idea. The odor can last for weeks, flies and other pests may follow, and fluids can stain drywall and insulation. Removal and cleanup are safer and faster than waiting.
