What clients are saying
Removing dead animals in London in a safe and hygienic manner
The discovery of a dead animal on your property is never pleasant, especially if it has been there for a long time. When you find a carcass, it should be removed as soon as possible. The decomposing body of an animal, if not found soon enough, soon becomes a health hazard. You will soon notice foul odors filling your property, and you may also notice an unexpected flea infestation. Do not waste time if you find a dead animal near or inside your house. Contact a pest professional immediately.

Q: How do you dispose of a deceased pet?
A: If you own a pet, it is your responsibility to ensure it is disposed of properly when it dies. This means using an approved route, such as a registered waste carrier or licensed animal crematorium. If you do not wish to have your pet returned to you, make sure you use a reputable service to ensure it is treated with care and respect.
Q: How do I dispose of a dead wild animal?
A: If you encounter a dead animal, it is important to take precautions. First, put on some disposable gloves. Avoid touching the carcass with your bare hands. Place the dead animal in a plastic bag, ensuring it is leakproof. Once the carcass is securely in the bag, tie it up, place it in a second plastic bag, and put it in the regular bin.
Q: How long does it take for a dead animal to stop smelling?
A: The smell of a decaying animal can be incredibly unpleasant, and it can linger for a long time depending on the size of the animal and the conditions in the area where it died. The nauseating stench will linger until the animal carcass is completely dried out, so it will take some time before the smell goes away.
Q: How do you neutralise the smell of a dead animal?
A: Clean the area after removing the dead animal. Use gloves and a disinfectant or bleach. Another option is to use an air purifier with activated charcoal filters, which can absorb and neutralise many different types of odours. You can also try simmering a pot of water with some essential oils to freshen up your indoor space.
