Understanding Why Dead Animals Appear on Your Property

There are several reasons why you may find a dead animal on your property. Older or injured animals may crawl under a deck or patio and die, while other animals may drag a carcass onto your property. You may even find dead rodents and other small animals inside the walls or attic.

This is particularly the case when you leave out poison bait for rodents and other pests. Regardless of why it is there, you want the dead animal removed right away.

DixieLand Critter Gitter, LLC removes dead animals from:

• Residential homes and garages
• Cars, buses, and other vehicles
• Commercial properties
• Schools and libraries
• Retail stores and grocery stores
• Municipal buildings

We only use safe, humane products and can remove any sized animal, including mice, rats, gophers, squirrels, raccoons, bats, birds, and large animals.

Steps to Take When You Find a Dead Animal

If the animal is small, like a bird or squirrel, you can slide it into an empty trash bag and place the trash bag in your outdoor trash. If the animal is larger, it isn't as easy as sliding it into a trash bag. While it's not inherently dangerous to touch a large dead animal, it’s always best to err on the side of caution  and call our professionals for removal. 

Because sick animals often hide to avoid predators, it may be hard to find them on your property after they’ve passed. When that’s the case, there are a few things you can do: 

• Use your pets - 
  House pets can typically find a dead animal before you can. For example, a dog’s keen sense of smell can detect even the slightest smell of decomposition and locate the animal for you.
• New pests show up - 
  If there is a dead animal on your property, you’ll likely see other new pests show up too. Flies, ants, and even maggots love decomposing dead animals. If you notice an increase in the number of flies or ant trails on your property, you may have a dead animal somewhere on the premises.
• Sniff it out - 
  One of the first signs of a dead animal on your property is the unmistakable smell of an animal decomposing. If you notice this smell on your property, make sure to give us a call to help remove the animal from your premises.

Why Choose Our Dead Animal Disposal Services?

If you find a dead animal on your property, do not try to remove it yourself, and do not wait for it to just decompose and fade away. Both pose risks to your health and safety. 

Depending on the level of decomposition, the job can be messy. There are also contamination issues to consider, especially if the dead animal is inside your walls, attic, crawlspace, or other interior space. That’s why you need DixieLand Critter Gitter, LLC. 

When removing a dead animal, we will:

• Fully inspect the affected area
• Remove the carcass
• Utilize enzyme treatments when necessary
• Thoroughly clean and sanitize
• Deodorize
• Replace insulation

You must remember that an animal carcass has the potential to contaminate your property and spread disease. The decomposing animal attracts flies and other pests, which then spread germs and other contaminants everywhere they land. DixieLand Critter Gitter, LLC can help you keep your home clean and healthy.
