Finding and Removing a Dead Animal in Glendale, MS

Dead animal decontamination is the final cleaning stage after a carcass is gone. It lowers germs on surfaces and helps remove the odor, using EPA-registered disinfectants and sealed disposal of waste.

Whether you own a home, rent it out or manage property in Glendale, MS, you can get dead animal cleanup anywhere in Forrest County by calling Glendale Biohazard Cleanup Help. Crews work at any hour in attics, crawl spaces, garages, sheds, ductwork and yards.

Glendale gets about 59 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. Most housing in Forrest County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 11%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses.

What dead animal removal & cleanup covers:

Cleanup of fluids and stains left on floors, walls, insulation and subfloors
Odor removal and deodorizing at the source of the smell
Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
Cleaning and treating of air paths and vents where odor has spread
Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces

From Mystery Smell to Sanitized Space in Glendale

1. Describe and locate

The team asks where the smell is strongest, how long it has been there and what could have died, then plans the search.

2. Protect and remove

Technicians put on gloves, respirators and suits, then remove the animal and seal it in heavy bags for disposal.

3. Clean the structure

Wood, concrete and drywall are washed and disinfected, and heavily stained porous materials are replaced.

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 Glendale, MS

Why is insulation removed after a dead animal?

Insulation soaks up fluids and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Leaving it in place means the smell can return. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.

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.

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.

How do you find a dead animal in a wall?

The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and looks for flies and stains. Sometimes a small camera or a small opening in drywall is needed. Once the animal is found, it is removed and the area is cleaned.

Will the smell go away on its own?

Eventually it fades, but that can take weeks, and fluids that soaked into insulation, carpet or wood keep releasing odor. Removing the animal and treating the area is much faster than waiting.

How do I get a dead mouse smell out of a wall?

The smell comes from the carcass and any fluids, so the animal has to be found and removed. Air fresheners only cover it. After removal, the area is cleaned and treated, which usually clears the smell.
