How to Tell There Is a Dead Animal in or Near Your Home
Odor is usually the first sign. Mice, rats, birds and squirrels often die inside walls, attics and crawl spaces, and larger animals can die under decks, sheds and slabs.
A strong, sweet and rotten odor that gets worse over several days, often strongest in one room or near one wall.
Odor in one area, flies gathering at a window or vent, stains on a ceiling or wall, or a carcass visible under a deck or in a window well.
A small animal can smell for one to several weeks depending on size, temperature and airflow.
Wall voids, attics, crawl spaces, behind appliances, ducts, chimneys, window wells, and under decks and sheds.

Dead Animal Odor in Colorado Springs
Where Dead Animal Odors Usually Come From
Most calls start with a smell in one room, a closet, a wall or under the floor. Mice, rats, birds and squirrels are the most common animals found in walls, attics and crawl spaces. Larger animals such as raccoons and skunks are usually under decks or in crawl spaces.
Warm weather speeds up odor and attracts flies. A cluster of flies at a window or light near the smell is often a clue to where the animal is.
Removing the animal is only part of the job. Finding how it got in matters too, because the same opening can let in the next one.
Answers Before Service
Dead Animal Removal Questions
Here are the questions we hear most. Call or text if yours isn’t here.
Can you remove an animal from inside a wall?
Often, yes. If we need to open the wall to reach it, that’s quoted separately and we’ll tell you before we start.
What should I do before service?
Keep people and pets away, don’t touch it, and call or text us where the smell is strongest.
Does removal include all cleanup and repairs?
No. Removal, disposal, sanitation, structural opening, and repair are separate scope items and should be clearly listed in the approved work.
How is pricing determined?
Yes. Most jobs can be priced by phone or text from what you tell us. Quotes are free.
Why do I see flies along with the smell?
Flies are drawn to a carcass and breed on it, so new flies at one window or vent often point toward the source.
Should I use air fresheners or odor sprays?
They only mask the smell for a short time. Removing the animal and cleaning the area is what ends the odor.
Is it safe to remove a dead animal myself?
Small animals outdoors can be bagged with gloves, but animals that can carry rabies or hantavirus should not be handled without protective equipment.
What if the animal is inside a finished wall?
The location is narrowed down first, then the smallest practical access point is chosen. Repair of that opening may be a separate step.
How long does a dead animal smell last?
It depends on the size of the animal and the temperature. A mouse may smell for days to a couple of weeks, and larger animals much longer. Removal is the fastest way to end it.
Can you come out the same day for a dead animal smell?
When the schedule allows, yes. Call early in the day and tell us where the smell is strongest.
Do you remove dead animals from crawl spaces and under decks?
Yes, when the animal can be reached safely. Tell us where the smell is and whether there is access to the crawl space or under the deck.
Can a dead animal in the wall attract other pests?
Yes. Flies and carpet beetles can feed on a dead animal, so you may see them in the same area.
