Hello World! Welcome Friends! Every once in a while, an animal will get into, under, or above a home’s living space and can’t get out. Then they die. They could be in a crawl space, the wall, or an attic. A dead animal is going to start decomposing, and that is what makes the smell. The smell is partly hidden by the wall, floor, or ceiling between the animal and the living space, but it is still there. The homeowner notices a mystery odor that is not pleasant, but they can’t find what is causing it. But, the smell does not go away. The dead animal needs to be found and removed before it poses a threat to the family’s health and well-being.
Who Can help with Dead Animal Location and Removal?
Dead animals in walls and between floors can be hard to locate and safely remove, so head to Animal Control Specialists for professional help. Choosing animal removal specialists near you is the best option. They can come to your home sooner and are knowledgeable about the types of animals in the neighborhood, how they get into homes, and where they are likely to die.
Professionals can quickly locate and remove the animal and sanitize the surrounding area, getting rid of all of the odor and mess. The removal may require cutting a hole in the wall where the animal is located and then patching it up afterward.
Why it is Important to Get the Animal removed Promptly
A dead animal can cause health problems as well as the awful smell. A decomposing animal body can leach body fluids into the home’s living spaces. The dead animal can also draw insects and other small predators. So, one problem left unsolved can lead to additional problems and health concerns. Plus, who wants to live with the odor of a rotting carcass?
Animals that die in walls create more problems than the bad smell. People with pest problems often resort to poison. But, then the animals go inside walls or attic spaces to die and rot. That creates a whole new problem. Covering up the odor with candles or odor bombs is not the answer. The animal is still there, rotting. The decomposing animal creates health hazards and must be found and removed. Professional animal removal experts are the best people to do this job.
Finding where the animal entered the home is important to finding and removing it.
Is Removing the Dead Animal Enough?
Once the dead animal is removed, the homeowner might breathe a sigh of relief and stop there. But, that is not enough. If one animal got in, others can also get in. The problem is that they may not get back out. It is important to find and close off the points of entry for animals. Animals can get into chimneys, crawl spaces, attics, basements, and walls. Have an expert look for areas that animals could use to enter the house and seal the holes or cracks.
It is important to make homes secure from invasions by animals such as rats, mice, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, and other pests. Avoiding a dead animal problem in the first place is important. But, if an animal gets in and dies, it is time to make efforts to secure the house from future intruders and dead animal smells. Homes should be safe, healthy places of refuge, and happy family memories.
