Dead Rodent, Raccoon and Opossum Removal in Gramercy and Kings County

Pet cleanup after a death at home covers removal of the body, cleaning of bedding and floors, and disinfection of the area. It is done gently and privately, so family members do not have to handle it.

Gramercy gets about 47 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. Whatever the vacancy rate in New York, a property that has been closed for a while should be checked for dead animals before anyone moves back in.

What dead animal removal & cleanup covers:

  • Cleanup of nests, droppings and parasite debris around the carcass
  • Carcass removal from walls, attics, crawl spaces, vents, chimneys and ductwork
  • Odor removal and deodorizing at the source of the smell
  • Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

Dead Animal Smell and Removal Questions Answered in Gramercy

Who pays for dead animal cleanup in a rental?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or property manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

Who do I call to remove a dead animal from my property?

On private property, you usually hire a dead animal removal service or cleanup team. Animal services may remove animals from public roads and property, and rules vary by city and county. For a hidden or large animal, describe the smell and location when you call.

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.

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 I remove a dead animal myself?

Sometimes. A small animal in plain sight can be bagged with gloves and a heavy bag, sealed and disposed of properly. Hidden, large or long-dead animals are a different job, because fluids soak into materials and germs can spread.

What should I do first if I smell something dead?

Open windows where it is safe, keep children and pets away, and try to note where the smell is strongest. Do not tear open walls. Call Gramercy Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
