dead animal removal

Atlanta Dead Animal processes for finding and removing dead and alive animals are effective for both domestic and business premises, getting to the root of the problem each time, and removing it so that it doesn’t cause more problems in the future. Removing the live/dead animal itself is just one part of a much larger and more complex problem – but our highly-trained and friendly technicians have the right tools, experience, and knowledge to get the ENTIRE job done, first time. Depending on the animal and the conditions surrounding the carcass, the offensive smell can last for three or four weeks or longer – and it has a tendency to get a lot worse, and a lot stronger when the heating is turned on and/or the weather is hot. Removing the body yourself is easy when you know where it is, and when you have the right kind of safety equipment to get the job done safely – but what about when those factors are different? Rodents have a particular penchant for dying in difficult-to-reach wall cavities, often resulting in a need to cut out entire segments of drywall. This is exactly the type of job that we have expert knowledge in, and our repairs are to such a high level, you’d never have known that we were even in your premises at all. To get live or dead animals removed from your property in the quickest time possible, and for the best price, give us a call at any time on 470-737-3427.

We are experts in dead animal removal, and take our job seriously. When removing dead animals, we do a COMPLETE job — not only do we remove the dead animal from your home or yard, we also decontaminate the area, deodorize it, and dispose of the animal or cremate it. If you aren't sure whether the stench in your house is due to a rotting carcass or another reason, we can sniff it out with our noses from our years of experience. We remove dead raccoons, dead opossums, dead skunks, dead squirrels, dead birds, even dead dogs and cats. We frequently remove dead rodents from inside walls, because poison kills rats and mice, who die in your house. We completely solve your dead animal problem by taking these steps:

  • Sniff out the dead animal if it is somewhere in your home
  • When necessary, for example if the animal is in a wall or under your house, cut a hole to remove the animal
  • Remove the dead animal, safely and completely (and seal the hole if needed)
  • Finish the job by decontaminating and deodorizing your home
  • Properly dispose of the dead animal through incineration or other means
  • Prevent it from happening again by finding out how they got in your house


Dead animal carcass removal is specialty work. Sometimes the job is simple, such as a dead opossum in the yard, in which case we can simply wear our gloves and respirator mask, bag the carcass, and take it away for incineration. Sometimes this is more complex, such as when the dead animal is under a home crawlspace, under a porch or deck or shed. Or if the animal is larger, such as a dog or a deer. The most complex cases are dead animals inside the house. The animal may have died inside the attic, or down in the walls, or the duct work, or any other part of the architecture. You may have a bad smell in your home, and you're not even sure what's causing it. We've removed not just dead animals, but rotting food, bad mold, etc. We specialize in locating the source of the smell, and we very commonly cut a hole in the ceiling or wall to remove the animal. We remove every bit of the carcass, mop up the juices, vacuum the maggots, spray it and wipe it down with disinfectant, cleaner, and we repair the hole we cut. In some cases we use ozone machines to neutralize odor.

Atlanta Dead Animal Tip: Why do squirrels die inside houses or attics?

Normally, squirrels live in the wild but they can also be tamed. Being solitary by nature, squirrels spend their entire time during the day feeding themselves. At night, they gather with other squirrels. They do the same during the long cold winter months. That is when they will want to share their body heat which is vital for their survival. However, squirrels also die in your home or attic and the reasons for this are not hard to find.

Ill equipped to live in homes or attics
Being wild by nature, squirrels have succeeded in adapting to life in the wild and are ill equipped to live in homes or attics. However, when they do not find food in the wild, they may enter your home looking for food. Here is a look at the reasons why squirrels die in a house or attic.

Attacked by a predator
First of all, squirrels may die in your home or attic because they have been attacked by a predator. Your dog is its number one enemy. Once your dog sees a squirrel, it will attack and try to kill the squirrel. Once they succeed in killing the squirrel, pets will then eat them. If you see a dead squirrel in your house or attic, chances are it was killed by a predator like your dog.

Die from poison
Second, squirrels also die in homes and attics because they have been poisoned. People who leave animal poison in their homes and attics will generally come across a dead squirrel because it has consumed the poison. Once it eats the poison it will become paralyzed before dying. This is another reason why they die in homes or attics.

Die fighting about territory
Third, squirrels may also die in your house or attic because they had a fight over territory with another squirrel. The male squirrel likes to control his space and will fight with intruders who try to enter its territory. So, if you find a dead squirrel in your home or attic, chances are it was killed by a male squirrel.

Young squirrels die after being abandoned
Finally, squirrels also end up dying in homes or attics because they have been abandoned. This is especially the case with young squirrels who are not capable of fending for themselves. If they wander away from the nest, they may not know how to return and so will not be able to feed themselves. This is another reason why squirrels end up dying in homes or attics. These young squirrels may have died of hunger or starvation.

If a squirrel dies in your house or attic, you need to know how to get rid of the dead body safely. One option available to you is to. Pull the dead body with your gloved hands and then you can place the dead body in a garbage bag and remove it with the trash. If the dead body is in the attic, then you can remove its dead body with a rake. It may even require having to dig the insulation to get to the body.
