Carcass removal is the safe handling and disposal of a dead animal, whether it is a mouse in a wall, a raccoon in an attic or a larger animal on a property. Crews wear gloves and respirators because fluids can carry germs.
Need residential or commercial dead animal cleanup in Palm Springs or nearby parts of Palm Beach County? Wherever it is in your property, whether walls, ceilings, duct runs, chimneys, crawl spaces, porches or storage rooms, call Palm Springs Biohazard Cleanup Help.
About 56% of homes in Palm Springs were built before 1980, and older houses often have more gaps, chimneys and crawl spaces where animals can get in and die. Most housing in Palm Springs is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 10%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses.
The work often covers:
- Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Carcass removal from walls, attics, crawl spaces, vents, chimneys and ductwork
- Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved
- Removal of dead animals from yards, garages, sheds, porches and under decks

Dead Animal Smell and Removal Questions Answered in Palm Springs
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.
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.
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.
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.
Will insurance cover dead animal cleanup?
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals or pests, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what paperwork it needs.
What diseases can a dead animal carry?
Dead animals can carry bacteria, parasites and viruses that pass to people and pets through touch or contaminated surfaces. Wild animals may also carry illnesses such as rabies. Avoid contact and let a cleanup team handle removal.
