Dead Animal Removal Tyler TX
A strong odor with no obvious source is usually a dead animal in a wall, attic, or crawlspace. We find it, remove it, and treat the area.
When an animal dies inside a wall cavity, attic, or crawlspace, the odor is often the only sign homeowners have. It typically peaks within 3 to 5 days of death and can persist for weeks without proper removal, since the decomposition process contaminates surrounding insulation and building materials.
How We Locate and Remove the Animal
We use odor tracing and, where needed, minimally invasive access points to locate the carcass without unnecessary demolition. Once removed, we treat the affected area with an enzymatic cleaner to break down residual odor-causing bacteria, and replace insulation if it's been contaminated.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find a dead animal without tearing open my walls?
We use odor intensity mapping from both inside and outside the structure to narrow down the location, and typically access through an existing vent, soffit gap, or small inspection opening rather than cutting drywall.
Will the smell go away on its own?
Eventually, but it can take several weeks and often leaves lingering odor in insulation and framing even after the smell fades, which is why removal and treatment is faster and more thorough.
