Dead Animal Removal Treatment
Location and Extraction
Using our expertise and sometimes specialized inspection cameras, we pinpoint the exact location of the carcass. We then carefully extract it, utilizing access hatches or lifting boards where necessary.
Sanitisation and Disinfection
Once removed, we treat the surrounding area with professional-grade biocides to kill bacteria, viruses, and any secondary pests (like maggots or fleas) associated with the carcass.
Odor Neutralisation
We use industrial-strength deodorizers and odor-neutralizing fogs to instantly break down the foul-smelling airborne molecules, rather than just masking the smell.
Advice on Dealing with Dead Animal Removal
Do not use poison indoors
The most common cause of dead animals in homes is the use of rodent poison. Always use traps indoors to ensure the rodent can be easily found and removed.
Ventilate the area
While waiting for our technician to arrive, open windows and doors to ventilate the property. This helps to dilute the odor and make the environment more bearable.
Look for signs of flies
Bluebottle flies are often the first responders to a carcass. If you have a sudden swarm of large, slow-moving flies in one room, the dead animal is likely very close.
What They Can Do to Your Property
Severe Odor
The smell of decomposition is incredibly pungent, sickly-sweet, and will permeate the entire house, making the property practically uninhabitable until the source is removed.
Secondary Pest Infestations
A decaying carcass provides a massive food source for flies (maggots), dermestes beetles, and fleas, which will rapidly spread throughout your home.
Biohazard Risks
Decaying biological matter harbors dangerous bacteria and pathogens. As the carcass liquefies, it can permanently stain ceilings or floorboards if left untreated.
