We are experts in dead animal removal, and take our job seriously. When removing dead animals, we do a COMPLETE job — not only do we remove the dead animal from your home or yard, we also decontaminate the area, deodorize it, and dispose of the animal or cremate it. If you aren't sure whether the stench in your house is due to a rotting carcass or another reason, we can sniff it out with our noses from our years of experience. We remove dead raccoons, dead opossums, dead skunks, dead squirrels, dead birds, even dead dogs and cats. We frequently remove dead rodents from inside walls, because poison kills rats and mice, who die in your house. We completely solve your dead animal problem by taking these steps:

  • Sniff out the dead animal if it is somewhere in your home
  • When necessary, for example if the animal is in a wall or under your house, cut a hole to remove the animal
  • Remove the dead animal, safely and completely (and seal the hole if needed)
  • Finish the job by decontaminating and deodorizing your home
  • Properly dispose of the dead animal through incineration or other means
  • Prevent it from happening again by finding out how they got in your house


Dead animal carcass removal is specialty work. Sometimes the job is simple, such as a dead opossum in the yard, in which case we can simply wear our gloves and respirator mask, bag the carcass, and take it away for incineration. Sometimes this is more complex, such as when the dead animal is under a home crawlspace, under a porch or deck or shed. Or if the animal is larger, such as a dog or a deer. The most complex cases are dead animals inside the house. The animal may have died inside the attic, or down in the walls, or the duct work, or any other part of the architecture. You may have a bad smell in your home, and you're not even sure what's causing it. We've removed not just dead animals, but rotting food, bad mold, etc. We specialize in locating the source of the smell, and we very commonly cut a hole in the ceiling or wall to remove the animal. We remove every bit of the carcass, mop up the juices, vacuum the maggots, spray it and wipe it down with disinfectant, cleaner, and we repair the hole we cut. In some cases we use ozone machines to neutralize odor.

Fort Lauderdale Dead Animal Tip: Does using poison cause dead rats in the house?

When you find signs of rats in your home, or hear the sounds of their chewing and scratching, you might decide that you are going all out and lay down poison to be done for the last time. Before you do that, think about this- If you kill a rat in your home, you now have a dead rat in your home. This dead rat is a danger and source of multiple problems for you. It has gone from being a bothersome pest to a serious threat to you health and home. Here a few of the tribulations, that can happen.

If your cat, dog, or other carrion creature (like a bird) finds the body and eats it, they will probably become quite ill. They could even die.

A rat corpse will attract all kinds of nasty carrion feeders, but none as persistent or gross as flies. All types of flies will show up to feast on your rat body and lay their eggs. Soon maggots will be happily feeding alongside their parents. Soon you will have generations of flies living in your house. They will not only rise generations of young in house, but they will also land all over your food and things pooping and desecrating as they go.

Rotting things SMELL REALLY BAD. Your dead rat is no exception. Depending on the location and the airflow around it, the rat body could befoul your entire home for months. In hot weather, the stench could be powerful enough to drive you from your home

Rats carry pests such as mites and fleas. Theses bugs are attracted to the rat’s body heat. Dead rats have no body heat, so now all those pests have to find another warm bodied host to suck blood from.

A rat’s corpse can be even more disease ridden than they are when alive. As the rat corpse rots, it grows bacteria. As the urine, feces, and other parts dry, the can become powdery and airborne. Inhaling these airborne particles can lead to a host of health risks. Diseases of the blood, neurological diseases, respiratory infections, even the bubonic plague are diseases traced back to rats. Some rat born infections are fatal.

As the rat’s body decomposes, it turns to squishy goo. If it dies on soft materials such as insulation, wallpaper, in a drawer of cloth, or on cloth furniture covers, those items will be ruined. Not only does this cost you monetarily, but could cause the ruin of an irreplaceable item

If a rat dies inside a wall, you may find yourself having to cut open the wall to remove the body, waste, and ruined insulation. This is a time consuming and costly undertaking. Repairing your wall can also be a very expensive task requiring the services of a contractor.

If you have a problem with rats, before you put down poison, look at some other options for being rid of them. There are plenty of great traps on the market, or you could contact a local professional. A wild animal removal service will send a qualified professional to help you solve your dilemma. Not only can they assess your problem and devise a working plan, they can also handle removal of the bodies, and help you with a preventing a re-infestation.
