How do you find a dead animal inside a wall or ceiling?

Our technicians locate carcasses by tracing the odor gradient, checking the entry points and travel routes the animal used, and watching for secondary signs like fly activity and staining. Once located, we open the smallest access possible, remove the animal, treat the cavity with enzyme-based deodorizers and disinfectant, and repair the opening.

How long will the smell last if I just wait it out?

Depending on the animal's size, temperature, and humidity, decomposition odor lasts anywhere from a couple of weeks (a mouse) to several months (a raccoon or opossum) - and the fluids can permanently stain drywall and subfloor while attracting flies and beetles. Removal with proper sanitization eliminates the odor in days instead of months.

Doesn't the city remove dead animals in Cincinnati?

Municipal public works handles dead animals on public streets and rights-of-way, but anything on private property - your yard, garage, wall, attic or crawl space - is the property owner's responsibility. That's what we do, 24/7/365, anywhere in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

Can you remove and cremate a deceased pet?

Yes. We respectfully remove deceased pets - dogs, cats and others - anywhere across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, and we have established relationships with local animal crematories if you'd like cremation services arranged.

How much does dead animal removal cost?

It's flat-rate and quoted for free over the phone, 24/7 - the price depends mainly on where the animal is (a yard pickup is simpler than a wall cavity extraction with sanitization). Call (513) 586-5797 and we'll give you the exact number before anyone comes out.
