Step by Step: Finding, Removing and Cleaning Up After a Dead Animal in Banner Hill

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. Clean up fluids

Bedding, flooring and other surfaces that absorbed fluids are cleaned or removed, and waste is bagged for disposal.

4. Sanitize and inspect

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

What Banner Hill Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House

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.

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.

What rules apply to dead animal removal in Tennessee?

Rules for removing and disposing of dead animals vary by city and county, and animal services handle public property in many places. Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials. Ask your city or county what applies where you are.

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

How much does dead animal removal cost?

How do you find a dead animal in a wall?
