A typical July high of 96 degrees in Coronado Hills makes attics and sheds very hot, and heat spreads fluids and odor faster than in cooler places. Most housing in Austin is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses.
A typical dead animal removal & cleanup job includes:
- Removal of dead animals from yards, garages, sheds, porches and under decks
- Carcass removal from walls, attics, crawl spaces, vents, chimneys and ductwork
- Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces
- Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved
- Cleaning and treating of air paths and vents where odor has spread

What Coronado Hills Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House
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.
Will the smell go away on its own?
Eventually it fades, but that can take weeks, and fluids that soaked into insulation, carpet or wood keep releasing odor. Removing the animal and treating the area is much faster than waiting.
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.
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.
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.
Do cleanup crews deal with live animals?
No. Wildlife and pest professionals deal with live animals and seal entry points. You get a cleanup team for carcasses, fluids, nests and odor, and the two services often work together on the same job.
