The work zone is sealed off, and the animal is removed with care for the family, especially when it is a pet.

3. Clean up fluids

Bedding, flooring and other surfaces that absorbed fluids are cleaned or removed, and waste is bagged for disposal.

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Westfield Center, OH

What should I do first if I smell something dead?

Open windows where it is safe, keep children and pets away, and try to note where the smell is strongest. Do not tear open walls. Call Westfield Center Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

Can a dead animal in the wall make me sick?

The air itself is rarely the main concern, but germs on the carcass and fluids, plus flies and other pests, can spread through the home. The odor can also bother people with asthma. Prompt removal lowers the risk.

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.

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.

What rules apply to dead animal removal in Ohio?

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.

How long does a dead animal smell last?

The smell can last a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the animal, the weather and where it died. It fades faster once the animal and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated.

Need a dead animal removed in Westfield Center?

Do not tear open walls. A cleanup team can find the source safely.
