Annville gets about 51 inches of rain a year, and wet weather drives wildlife into attics, crawl spaces and sheds where they can die and be hard to find. Only about 32% of homes in Jackson County were built before 1980, but newer homes still have attics, vents and wall voids that animals can reach.
A typical dead animal removal & cleanup job includes:

- Follow-up odor checks and notes on repairs that other trades will need to make

Common Questions About Carcass Removal in Annville, KY
Can I just leave a dead animal in the wall?
It is not a good idea. The odor can last for weeks, flies and other pests may follow, and fluids can stain drywall and insulation. Removal and cleanup are safer and faster than waiting.
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.
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 Annville Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
What rules apply to dead animal removal in Kentucky?
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.
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.
