Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Pewaukee, WI
What should I do with a dead animal I can see?
Do not touch it bare-handed. Wear heavy gloves, place it in a heavy bag, seal it and dispose of it according to local rules. Wash your hands well afterward. If it is large or you are unsure, call for help.
Can a dead animal in the wall make me sick?
The air itself is rarely the main concern, but germs on the carcass and fluids, plus flies and other pests, can spread through the home. The odor can also bother people with asthma. Prompt removal lowers the risk.
What diseases can a dead animal carry?
Dead animals can carry bacteria, parasites and viruses that pass to people and pets through touch or contaminated surfaces. Wild animals may also carry illnesses such as rabies. Avoid contact and let a cleanup team handle removal.
What rules apply to dead animal removal in Wisconsin?
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.
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 do I call to remove a dead animal from my property?
On private property, you usually hire a dead animal removal service or cleanup team. Animal services may remove animals from public roads and property, and rules vary by city and county. For a hidden or large animal, describe the smell and location when you call.
