Finding and Removing a Dead Animal in Jamaica, New York, NY

Dead animal removal and cleanup is the safe removal of an animal carcass from a wall, attic, vent, crawl space, yard or home, followed by cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment of the area.

People in Jamaica and across Kings County call Jamaica Biohazard Cleanup Help when an animal has died somewhere hard or unpleasant to reach. You get a cleanup team that explains each step and sorts what can be kept from what has to be discarded.

Jamaica gets about 47 inches of rain a year, and wet weather drives wildlife into attics, crawl spaces and sheds where they can die and be hard to find. Older and newer homes in New York both hide dead animals in wall voids, and cleanup in each follows the same steps: find, remove, disinfect, deodorize.

What dead animal removal & cleanup covers:

  • Removal of dead animals from yards, garages, sheds, porches and under decks
  • Cleaning and treating of air paths and vents where odor has spread
  • Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions
  • Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved
  • Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

Family members, tenants and animals stay out of the area while the crew prepares to enter.

Wood, concrete and drywall are washed and disinfected, and heavily stained porous materials are replaced.

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Jamaica, New York, NY

What should I do first if I smell something dead?

Open windows where it is safe, keep children and pets away, and try to note where the smell is strongest. Do not tear open walls. Call Jamaica Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.

How long does a dead animal smell last?

The smell can last a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the animal, the weather and where it died. It fades faster once the animal and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated.

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.

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.

What rules apply to dead animal removal in New York?

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.
