With roughly 46 inches of annual rainfall in Homeland Park, damp crawl spaces and wall voids make dead animal fluids and odor linger longer. Most housing in Anderson County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 9%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses.

A typical dead animal removal & cleanup job includes:

  • Follow-up odor checks and notes on repairs that other trades will need to make
  • Odor removal and deodorizing at the source of the smell
  • Cleaning and treating of air paths and vents where odor has spread
  • Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved
  • Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces

The Dead Animal Removal Process in Homeland Park

The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and opens a small section only when needed.

The carcass, nest and soaked insulation are packed out, and the area is cleaned to bare structure.

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Homeland Park, SC

Can cleanup stop animals from getting in again?

No. Cleanup removes the carcass and odor but does not close entry points. A wildlife or pest professional can seal gaps. Removing odor does help, since scent can draw other animals to the same spot.

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.

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.

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.

Is a dead animal dangerous?

It can be. Fluids can carry germs, and pests such as flies and fleas spread through the home. Do not touch it bare-handed, keep children and pets away and wash your hands well. People with asthma or sensitive lungs should stay out of the area.

What rules apply to dead animal removal in South Carolina?

Rules for removing and disposing of dead animals vary by city and county, and animal services handle public property in many places. Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials. Ask your city or county what applies where you are.
