Dead Rodent, Raccoon and Opossum Removal in Roslyn Harbor and Nassau County

Dead animal odor removal means treating the source of a smell that does not fade with air fresheners. It involves locating the carcass, removing it and any soaked materials, and neutralizing odor in the area.

Your cleanup team works in gloves, respirators and protective gear and follows workplace safety rules for contaminated materials.

Many homes in Nassau County, about 85%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up fluids and hold odor for a long time. Whatever the vacancy rate in Nassau County, a property that has been closed for a while should be checked for dead animals before anyone moves back in.

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Roslyn Harbor, NY

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.

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.

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.

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 a dead animal in the wall make me sick?

The air itself is rarely the main concern, but germs on the carcass and fluids, plus flies and other pests, can spread through the home. The odor can also bother people with asthma. Prompt removal lowers the risk.

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.
