Pet and Wildlife Carcass Cleanup in Goulds, FL
Dead animal removal and cleanup is the safe removal of an animal carcass from a wall, attic, vent, crawl space, yard or home, followed by cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment of the area.
In Goulds, a dead animal is both a smell problem and a health matter for you and your household. Call Goulds Biohazard Cleanup Help for help anywhere in Miami-Dade County. Crews use protective gear, remove contaminated materials and check the area before handing it back.
Goulds gets about 66 inches of rain a year, and wet weather drives wildlife into attics, crawl spaces and sheds where they can die and be hard to find. Most housing in Miami-Dade County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 11%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses.
A typical dead animal removal & cleanup job includes:
- Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions
- Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Sealing and bagging of waste for proper disposal according to local rules
- Cleanup of fluids and stains left on floors, walls, insulation and subfloors
- Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved

Dead Animal Smell and Removal Questions Answered in Goulds
What should I do first if I smell something dead?
Open windows where it is safe, keep children and pets away, and try to note where the smell is strongest. Do not tear open walls. Call Goulds Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
How much does dead animal removal cost?
It depends on where the animal is, its size and how much material must be removed. A pickup in plain sight costs less than a job inside a wall. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
Do cleanup crews deal with live animals?
No. Wildlife and pest professionals deal with live animals and seal entry points. You get a cleanup team for carcasses, fluids, nests and odor, and the two services often work together on the same job.
What should I do with a dead animal I can see?
Do not touch it bare-handed. Wear heavy gloves, place it in a heavy bag, seal it and dispose of it according to local rules. Wash your hands well afterward. If it is large or you are unsure, call for help.
Can I just leave a dead animal in the wall?
It is not a good idea. The odor can last for weeks, flies and other pests may follow, and fluids can stain drywall and insulation. Removal and cleanup are safer and faster than waiting.
