Finding and Removing a Dead Animal in Malvern, AR
Dead animal cleanup goes beyond pickup. As an animal decomposes, fluids soak into insulation, drywall, carpet and wood, so the job includes removing and replacing those materials and sanitizing what remains.
Need residential or commercial dead animal cleanup in Malvern or nearby parts of Hot Spring County? Wherever it is in your property, whether walls, ceilings, duct runs, chimneys, crawl spaces, porches or storage rooms, call Malvern Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Many homes in Malvern, about 75%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up fluids and hold odor for a long time. Malvern gets about 58 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.
The work often covers:
- Odor removal and deodorizing at the source of the smell
- Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces
- Cleanup of fluids and stains left on floors, walls, insulation and subfloors
- Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
