Dead Animal Smell and Removal Questions Answered in New Hope
Who do I call to remove a dead animal from my property?

What can be saved after a dead animal?
Hard surfaces, wood framing and items in sealed containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that soaked up fluids are generally removed. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
