PROCESS

Animal Carcass Removal: How It Works

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.
