Why Dead Animal Removal Is an Urgent Matter

The longer a dead animal remains on your property, the more it breaks down and releases harmful bacteria, fluids, and gases. In just a few days, it can lead to severe contamination of insulation, drywall, vents, and flooring. These issues often escalate into costly property damage if not addressed immediately. In addition to property concerns, there are serious health risks. Decomposing animals can carry parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites, which may spread disease. Children, elderly residents, and pets are especially vulnerable. Prompt dead animal and wildlife removal is essential to protect your family or customers.

Our Proven Dead Animal Removal Process

At Preyon Pest Control, we follow a thorough, multi-step process designed to ensure every dead animal is removed safely and discreetly. Here’s what to expect;

Initial Inspection

Using experience and tools like odor detection, thermal imaging, and moisture sensors, we pinpoint where the dead animal is, even if it’s hidden in a wall, attic, or crawlspace. The goal is to quickly identify the issue with minimal disturbance to your property.

Safe and Sanitary Removal

Whether it's a rodent behind drywall or a larger animal in the attic, we are trained to handle the process without spreading contamination. We follow strict safety guidelines for biohazard handling and dispose of the remains at an approved facility.

Disinfection and Odor Treatment

After removal, we disinfect the affected area using EPA-approved cleaning agents. We also apply industrial-strength deodorizers to neutralize lingering odors caused by decomposition. We can use advanced techniques like thermal fogging or ozone treatment to fully refresh the space.

Damage Assessment and Cleanup

Some dead animals can cause secondary damage such as chewed wires, soiled insulation, or fluid-stained drywall. We offer cleanup services or refer you to trusted restoration partners for repair. Our goal is to leave your property clean, safe, and fully restored.

Preventative Recommendations

We inspect for damaged vents, roof gaps, broken crawlspace doors, or open utility lines that may have served as entry points. This proactive step helps ensure the same issue doesn’t happen again.

Our process prioritizes health, hygiene, and long-term prevention, giving homeowners and businesses complete peace of mind.
