Animal Waste or Deceased Animal Cleanup — What Do I Do?
Accumulated animal waste and deceased animals are biohazards — they carry bacteria, parasites, and disease (and strong odor that soaks into materials). Significant situations need professional cleanup.

Work through these in order — the first few minutes decide how much damage spreads.

Call for professional biohazard cleanup and deodorization.
Careful
What to Avoid
-
Don't sweep or vacuum dried animal waste — it releases hazardous particles into the air.
-
Don't ignore contaminated porous materials (carpet, drywall) — they often must be removed.
-
Don't handle a carcass or heavy waste without protection.

Common Questions
Animal Waste or Deceased Animal Cleanup
Is animal waste really a biohazard?
Yes — accumulated waste and carcasses carry bacteria, parasites, and viruses (like hantavirus from rodents), and dried waste is hazardous to disturb without protection.
Can you get rid of the smell too?
Yes — odor soaks into porous materials, so we remove what’s contaminated and deodorize at the source rather than masking it.
