 Verified We tented for termites and unfortunately something died in the crawlspace and spelled awful. Trevor came out and found two dead skunks (sorry skunks :/ ) and removed them. The smell went away in a couple days thank goodness! 

Thank you Trevor!

 Verified Mike did an amazing job! I heard something in my wall at work, everyone thought I was crazy. Mike showed up, very professional and was not leaving until he found it! He was able to string down a mouse trap and get the mouse(Morris we named him) that was stuck. RIP, What a relief! Thank you so much and I highly recommend calling them for any of your animal trapping needs! He also told me once he saved a squirrel that was stuck in a chimney! Great work.

 Verified We had a skunk. Bob came by the day I called, looked around, set his trap, and as of two days ago we no longer have a skunk. Bob was easy, straightforward, and did the job relocating the little critter.

Couldn't be happier.

 Verified I had a dead possum in my front yard that I requested the city pick up. After 3 days of LA Sanitation failing to respond to my requests, I reached out to All City Animal Trapping for help. Thank you, George for coming to my rescue. George arrived in record time. At that point we discovered that the remains had been moved and George was kind enough not to charge me, even though he had already rescheduled his day to help me out. If this ever happens again, I'll be reaching out to All City Animal Trapping first and saving myself the headache and frustration of trying to deal with the city.

Understanding the Risks

As the owner of All City Animal Trapping, I’ve seen firsthand the significant damage that dead animals can cause to homes and properties. While it’s a situation no one wants to deal with, understanding the potential damage can help you take swift action. Here’s what you need to know about the risks and damage associated with dead animals in your home or property:

1. Health Risks

Disease Transmission

Dead animals can carry and transmit various diseases and parasites, posing serious health risks to humans and pets:

Bacterial Infections: Decomposing animals can harbor bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, which can contaminate your home and cause serious illnesses.
Viruses: Dead animals can be carriers of viruses such as rabies, which pose significant health threats.
Parasites: Fleas, ticks, mites, and maggots are commonly attracted to dead animals and can infest your home, spreading diseases and causing additional health concerns.

2. Structural Damage

Decomposition Effects

The decomposition process can cause significant structural damage to your home:

Wood Rot: Fluids from decomposing animals can seep into wood, causing it to rot and weaken structural components.
Drywall Damage: Fluids and gasses released during decomposition can damage drywall, leading to staining, warping, and potential mold growth.
Insulation Contamination: Dead animals in attics or walls can contaminate insulation with fluids and odors, reducing its effectiveness and requiring costly replacement.

3. Odor Problems

Persistent and Unpleasant Smells

One of the most noticeable and distressing issues with dead animals is the foul odor they produce:

Odor Penetration: The smell of decomposition can penetrate walls, floors, and furniture, making it difficult to eliminate without professional help.
Air Quality: The odor can significantly reduce indoor air quality, making your living environment unpleasant and potentially harmful to your health.

4. Attraction of Other Pests

Secondary Infestations

Dead animals can attract other pests, leading to secondary infestations:

Insects: Flies, beetles, and other insects are drawn to decomposing animals, and their presence can lead to further contamination and spread of disease.
Rodents: The odor and availability of food can attract rodents, which can cause additional damage and health risks.

5. Water Damage

Contamination and Leakage

If a dead animal is located near or in a water source, it can lead to water damage:

Contaminated Water: Dead animals can contaminate water sources such as wells, tanks, and plumbing systems, making the water unsafe for use.
Leakage: Fluids from decomposing animals can cause water damage to walls, ceilings, and floors, leading to staining, warping, and mold growth.

6. Property Value

Decreased Property Value

The presence of dead animals and the associated damage can significantly decrease your property value:

Structural Integrity: Damage to structural components can reduce the overall value and safety of your home.
Aesthetic Appeal: Odors, stains, and infestations can make your property less appealing to potential buyers or renters.
