Let’s be real — finding a dead animal on your property is one of those things that stops you in your tracks. It’s unpleasant, unexpected, and it’s not something you ever really plan for. But once it happens, it has to be dealt with fast — not just because of the smell, but because of what it can do to your home and your health.
At All City Animal Trapping, we handle these situations every single day. Our team is trained to find exactly where the animal is, remove it safely, clean up any mess, and make sure your home is left spotless and odor-free. We do it quietly, quickly, and with respect for you and your property.
When an animal dies inside a home — behind a wall, under the house, or even in the attic — the problem gets worse by the hour. Within a day or two, the smell can fill an entire house, and the bacteria and insects that follow aren’t just unpleasant — they’re dangerous.
Here’s what can happen if it’s not handled right away:
That horrible odor can stick around for weeks.
Fluids from the carcass can stain ceilings, floors, or drywall.
Flies, maggots, and other insects can appear fast.
Airborne bacteria can spread through your home.
It’s not something you can just spray air freshener on and ignore. We come in fast, take care of it, and leave your home safe, clean, and comfortable again.
Every situation is different — but the goal is always the same: get it cleaned up safely and completely.
Sometimes it’s obvious where the smell is coming from. Other times, it’s not. We use professional equipment to locate exactly where the animal is — even if it’s behind a wall, under insulation, or inside ductwork.
Once we find it, we remove the carcass using proper protective gear and follow biohazard safety standards. Everything is done carefully to avoid spreading contamination.
After the animal is removed, we disinfect the entire area — getting rid of bacteria, parasites, and anything that could cause health issues.
This is where experience really matters. We use professional-grade deodorizers that neutralize odors completely — not just cover them up.
Finally, we figure out how the animal got in. We’ll show you the entry spots and recommend how to seal them so it doesn’t happen again.
We handle the tough part so you don’t have to.
You’d be surprised where animals manage to end up. Over the years, we’ve removed them from:
