Only about 17% of homes in Roseville were built before 1980, but newer homes still have attics, vents and wall voids that animals can reach. Roseville is on the drier side, with about 18 inches of rain a year, but drought can push animals toward buildings for shelter and water, and some do not make it out.
The work often covers:
- Carcass removal from walls, attics, crawl spaces, vents, chimneys and ductwork
- 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
- Cleaning and treating of air paths and vents where odor has spread
- Cleanup of nests, droppings and parasite debris around the carcass

Dead Animal Smell and Removal Questions Answered in Roseville
Who pays for dead animal cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or property manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
Who do I call to remove a dead animal from my property?
On private property, you usually hire a dead animal removal service or cleanup team. Animal services may remove animals from public roads and property, and rules vary by city and county. For a hidden or large animal, describe the smell and location when you call.
Is a dead animal dangerous?
It can be. Fluids can carry germs, and pests such as flies and fleas spread through the home. Do not touch it bare-handed, keep children and pets away and wash your hands well. People with asthma or sensitive lungs should stay out of the area.
How long does a dead animal smell last?
The smell can last a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the animal, the weather and where it died. It fades faster once the animal and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated.
What if a pet died at home?
You do not have to handle it alone. A cleanup team can remove the body with care, clean bedding and floors, and disinfect the area. It is done privately and gently, so the family is spared the hardest part.
What diseases can a dead animal carry?
Dead animals can carry bacteria, parasites and viruses that pass to people and pets through touch or contaminated surfaces. Wild animals may also carry illnesses such as rabies. Avoid contact and let a cleanup team handle removal.
