Dead rodent cleanup covers the removal of a dead mouse or rat, the nest and the droppings around it, and sanitizing of the area. It is often paired with pest control, which deals with live animals.

Most housing in Aurora is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 5%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses. A July high of 90 degrees in Southshore affects how quickly a carcass breaks down and how far the smell travels through a building.

The work often covers:

  • Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces
  • Cleanup for vacant, rental and commercial properties with documentation for managers
  • Removal of dead animals from yards, garages, sheds, porches and under decks
  • Follow-up odor checks and notes on repairs that other trades will need to make
  • Sealing and bagging of waste for proper disposal according to local rules

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Southshore, Aurora, CO

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 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.

Can I remove a dead animal myself?

Sometimes. A small animal in plain sight can be bagged with gloves and a heavy bag, sealed and disposed of properly. Hidden, large or long-dead animals are a different job, because fluids soak into materials and germs can spread.

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.

Can a dead animal in the ductwork spread smell through the house?

Yes. Animals can die inside ducts, and the heating and cooling system then moves the odor through every room. Cleanup includes removing the animal and treating vents and duct openings.

Can cleanup stop animals from getting in again?

No. Cleanup removes the carcass and odor but does not close entry points. A wildlife or pest professional can seal gaps. Removing odor does help, since scent can draw other animals to the same spot.
