Animals like raccoons, squirrels, opossums, skunks, rats, and birds often find their way into attics, crawlspaces, walls, or under homes in search of shelter. Unfortunately, when these animals become trapped, sick, or reach the end of their life cycle, they may die inside your home. This not only creates an overwhelming odor but also poses serious health and sanitation risks.

As the carcass begins to decompose, it attracts flies, maggots, and other pests, and can spread harmful bacteria and parasites throughout your home. The smell can permeate insulation, drywall, and ductwork—making quick and professional removal essential. Attempting to locate and remove a dead animal yourself can be difficult and dangerous without the proper training or equipment.

That’s where A Wildlife Pro comes in. Michael Shelley uses years of experience in wildlife behavior and building structures to locate dead animals in hard-to-reach areas, such as wall voids, under floorboards, or deep within insulation. Once the source is found, he safely removes the carcass and thoroughly inspects the area for any secondary issues, such as pest infestations, access points, or contamination.

Following removal, clean-up and sanitization are crucial steps. A Wildlife Pro uses professional-grade disinfectants, odor neutralizers, and biohazard cleaning techniques to ensure that all affected areas are thoroughly decontaminated. This not only eliminates odor but also prevents health issues and future pest problems.

In many cases, the presence of a dead animal signals a larger issue, such as an entry point that allowed wildlife into your home in the first place. After removal and clean-up, Michael offers expert wildlife exclusion services, sealing up entry points and reinforcing vulnerable areas to prevent future intrusions. Whether it’s a vent, roof gap, crawlspace opening, or damaged soffit, A Wildlife Pro ensures your home stays protected.
