Dead wildlife on your property can lead to serious health concerns, foul odors, and unwanted pests. In Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, it's common for animals to die in hard-to-reach spaces—such as behind walls, under decks, inside attics, or even inside ductwork. These situations require prompt, professional cleanup to avoid further complications.
Understanding the Problem
Unpleasant discoveries in attics, crawlspaces, or yards
Warning Signs of a Dead Animal
What to look for (or smell)
- Foul, rotting odor near walls, vents, or floors
- Sudden swarm of flies or insects in one area
- Stains on ceilings or walls
- Noises stopped abruptly (after hearing scratching or movement previously)

The Risks of Delayed Removal

Health Hazards: Carcasses attract maggots, bacteria, and parasites
