Dead Animal Smell and Removal Questions Answered in Great Kills / Eltingville

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.

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 Great Kills / Eltingville Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.

How do you find a dead animal in a wall?

The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and looks for flies and stains. Sometimes a small camera or a small opening in drywall is needed. Once the animal is found, it is removed and the area is cleaned.

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.

Can a dead animal in the ductwork spread smell through the house?

Yes. Animals can die inside ducts, and the heating and cooling system then moves the odor through every room. Cleanup includes removing the animal and treating vents and duct openings.
