About 80% of homes in Rocky Ford were built before 1980, and older houses often have more gaps, chimneys and crawl spaces where animals can get in and die. Rocky Ford is on the drier side, with about 13 inches of rain a year, but drought can push animals toward buildings for shelter and water, and some do not make it out.

  • Cleanup of nests, droppings and parasite debris around the carcass
  • Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions
  • Odor removal and deodorizing at the source of the smell

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Rocky Ford, CO

How much does dead animal removal cost?

It depends on where the animal is, its size and how much material must be removed. A pickup in plain sight costs less than a job inside a wall. The team sets the price after seeing the space.

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.

Is it safe to stay home during dead animal cleanup?

For work in an attic or crawl space, many people stay in the home while the crew works with containment. For heavy odor or large animals, you may prefer to be away. The team will say what makes sense for your situation.

What if a pet died at home?

You do not have to handle it alone. A cleanup team can remove the body with care, clean bedding and floors, and disinfect the area. It is done privately and gently, so the family is spared the hardest part.

What can be saved after a dead animal?

Hard surfaces, wood framing and items in sealed containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that soaked up fluids are generally removed. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.

How do I get a dead mouse smell out of a wall?

The smell comes from the carcass and any fluids, so the animal has to be found and removed. Air fresheners only cover it. After removal, the area is cleaned and treated, which usually clears the smell.
