Removing dead animals in London in a safe and hygienic manner

The discovery of a dead animal on your property is never pleasant, especially if it has been there for a long time.

When you find a carcass, it should be removed as soon as possible. The decomposing body of an animal, if not found soon enough, soon becomes a health hazard.

You will soon notice foul odors filling your property, and you may also notice an unexpected flea infestation. Do not waste time if you find a dead animal near or inside your house. Contact a pest professional immediately.

Our same day dead animal removal service effectively removes deceased animals from properties which is essential for health, safety, and sanitation.

Professionals conduct a thorough inspection to locate the dead animal. This might involve searching in attics, walls, basements, crawl spaces, and other hidden areas.

Dead animals can harbor diseases, bacteria, and parasites. Proper removal reduces the risk of exposure to harmful pathogens.

PROCESS

Animal Carcass Removal: How It Works

1.

Inspection

A pest control expert will inspect the property to determine where the smell comes from. We are usually called to remove dead rodents from hard-to-reach places. A special endoscope camera is used by the exterminator to detect the carcass.

2.

Disposal

The pest technician will remove the dead animal once it has been discovered. Whenever our pest teams are removing a dead animal, they always wear a mask and gloves. They pick up the carcass, place it in a bag, and seal it tightly. Bacteria and diseases can be transmitted by rotting carcasses.

3.

Cremation

The dead animal is cremated as part of the removal service. A corpse should be destroyed in this manner for safety and hygienic reasons. Additionally, you can also make a call about deceased pets. We arrange for a technician to pick up and cremate the animal.

4.

Prevention

Whenever you find dead rodents, snakes, birds or dead fox in your garden, call us to arrange the removal of the carcass. As the owner of the property, your local council is not obligated to remove dead animals from your property. The legal obligation to remove dead animals falls to you.
