Eliminate Dead Animal & Rodent Smell

It makes sense scientifically why dead animals smell so terrible, but that doesn’t mean that you want to have this odor anywhere near or inside your home. As soon as an animal has died it will begin to decompose. Fluid inside the body will drain to the lowest point, which will cause discoloration and muscle stiffness. The pH of the body will change, causing the cells to start to break down. Without a natural defense, microorganisms will attack and break down any oxygen that is in the body. It is the breaking down of cells that causes such a bad smell that is so easily recognizable. When the body has finished decomposing or there aren’t any fluids left in the body, the smell will disappear, but this process can take months if the animal is particularly large, leaving many people wondering how to get rid of dead animal smell. The easiest way to get rid of the smell is to move the carcass to another location, but this task isn’t always easy. Animals can hide in small places before they die, making it difficult to find and remove their bodies.

It’s only by trusting an expert to find where the animal body is located that you can make sure that it is removed. Otherwise you may knock down part of your wall or rip up some flooring only to discover that you are looking in the wrong place. Experts can locate and remove a carcass quickly and easily, but fluids and microorganisms can remain behind. Without getting rid of all of these microorganisms and fluids you will still have a foul odor to deal with. The area has to be cleaned with a special enzymatic wash and all wood, insulation, or drywall that has been saturated needs to be removed and replaced.If porous material can’t be removed, it needs to be treated with a drying enzymatic cleaner. Moist or very wet areas will hold a smell for longer and need special treatment. Some people may have success with home remedies when they are looking for how to get rid of decaying animal smell

but processed materials are a better option. Baking soda and bleach may work for a short time but the odor can return or you may end up causing harm to your home. Using hydroxyl processors is the best way to get rid of the smell completely without damaging your home. They are able to break down any odor molecules that are on surfaces or in the air and remove them, although you will still have to apply cleaning agents directly to the maggots or fluids left behind. While nature will eventually remove a dead animal smell or animal urine smell, the process can take a long time. This is especially true if you are dealing with rodent smells, as there are often many animals that will have to decompose before the smell will disappear.The only way to get rid of the smell is to remove the body. Some home cleaners and candles can combat odors, but area sprays will generally only add to the smell in your home. Dehumidifiers will help to combat the odor if you live in a particularly humid environment. By combining a number of methods you can usually treat the odor in your home.

From small rodents to large deer or dogs, if you have an animal carcass to deal with, you will want to call a professional to come and provide you with service. Most people do not understand the precautions that need to be taken.If there is a dead animal in or around your home, you need to have a professional come and remove the body. Once the body begins to decay, the smell can be unbearable. Since animals will often crawl into small and enclosed spaces to die, it can be difficult to find their carcasses. Using flies and smells can help you narrow down their location, but only a professional will be able to reliably locate where the animal carcass is, especially if it is of a very small animal, such as a mouse or a chipmunk.
