The work often covers:
- Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces
- Cleanup of fluids and stains left on floors, walls, insulation and subfloors
- Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions
- Cleanup for vacant, rental and commercial properties with documentation for managers

Common Questions About Carcass Removal in Inwood, NY
How long does a dead animal smell last?
The smell can last a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the animal, the weather and where it died. It fades faster once the animal and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated.
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.
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.
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.
What rules apply to dead animal removal in New York?
Rules for removing and disposing of dead animals vary by city and county, and animal services handle public property in many places. Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials. Ask your city or county what applies where you are.
Who do I call to remove a dead animal from my property?
