With roughly 51 inches of annual rainfall in Bartram Village, damp crawl spaces and wall voids make dead animal fluids and odor linger longer. Many homes in Philadelphia, about 83%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up fluids and hold odor for a long time.
A typical dead animal removal & cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of nests, droppings and parasite debris around the carcass
- Removal of dead animals from yards, garages, sheds, porches and under decks

What Bartram Village Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House
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 should I do with a dead animal I can see?
Do not touch it bare-handed. Wear heavy gloves, place it in a heavy bag, seal it and dispose of it according to local rules. Wash your hands well afterward. If it is large or you are unsure, call for help.
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.
Why is insulation removed after a dead animal?
Insulation soaks up fluids and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Leaving it in place means the smell can return. Replacement insulation is usually a separate 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.
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.
