Frequently Asked Questions on Lake Orion Dead Animal Removal
1. How can I tell if there’s a dead animal in my home or on my property?
- The most obvious sign is a foul, lingering odor that worsens over time. You might also notice stains on ceilings or walls, an unusual number of flies or insects, or your pets acting strangely around a certain area. If noises in your attic or walls suddenly stop, that could also indicate an animal has died.
2. What types of animals do you commonly remove in Lake Orion?
- We frequently remove bats, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, birds, and rodents. These animals often die in attics, walls, crawlspaces, or under porches. Even if you’re unsure what kind of animal you’re dealing with, our team can identify and remove it safely.
3. Is it dangerous to remove a dead animal myself?
- Yes. Decomposing animals can carry harmful bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Handling them without proper gear or training can put you at risk. DIY removal also often leaves behind hidden contamination, which can cause odors and health issues. It’s best to leave it to professionals who know how to handle cleanup safely and legally.
4. How quickly should a dead animal be removed?
- As soon as possible. Within a day or two, decomposition can lead to unbearable odors, bacteria spread, insect infestations, and damage to insulation or drywall. Quick action minimizes health risks and cleanup costs.
5. How much does dead animal removal cost in Lake Orion, MI?
- Pricing depends on the size and location of the animal and the extent of cleanup required. Most jobs range from $150 to $400. We provide fair, transparent estimates and let you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
