Pet and Wildlife Carcass Cleanup in Georgian Acres, Austin, TX
Dead animal cleanup goes beyond pickup. As an animal decomposes, fluids soak into insulation, drywall, carpet and wood, so the job includes removing and replacing those materials and sanitizing what remains.

Summer highs near 96 degrees in Georgian Acres speed up decomposition, so a dead animal in an attic or crawl space can become a strong smell within days.

What Georgian Acres Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House
What rules apply to dead animal removal in Texas?
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 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.
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.
How much does dead animal removal cost?
It depends on where the animal is, its size and how much material must be removed. A pickup in plain sight costs less than a job inside a wall. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
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.
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.
