About 74% of homes in Wilton Manors were built before 1980, and older houses often have more gaps, chimneys and crawl spaces where animals can get in and die. With roughly 64 inches of annual rainfall in Wilton Manors, damp crawl spaces and wall voids make dead animal fluids and odor linger longer.
The work often covers:
- Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions
- Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces
- Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Cleanup of fluids and stains left on floors, walls, insulation and subfloors
- Follow-up odor checks and notes on repairs that other trades will need to make

What Wilton Manors Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House
Do cleanup crews deal with live animals?
No. Wildlife and pest professionals deal with live animals and seal entry points. You get a cleanup team for carcasses, fluids, nests and odor, and the two services often work together on the same job.
Will the smell go away on its own?
Eventually it fades, but that can take weeks, and fluids that soaked into insulation, carpet or wood keep releasing odor. Removing the animal and treating the area is much faster than waiting.
Can I remove a dead animal myself?
Sometimes. A small animal in plain sight can be bagged with gloves and a heavy bag, sealed and disposed of properly. Hidden, large or long-dead animals are a different job, because fluids soak into materials and germs can spread.
Can a dead animal in the ductwork spread smell through the house?
Yes. Animals can die inside ducts, and the heating and cooling system then moves the odor through every room. Cleanup includes removing the animal and treating vents and duct openings.
How do you find a dead animal in a wall?
The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and looks for flies and stains. Sometimes a small camera or a small opening in drywall is needed. Once the animal is found, it is removed and the area is cleaned.
Who pays for dead animal cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or property manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
