New Rochelle gets about 51 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. Most housing in Westchester County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 5%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses.

  • Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved
  • Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions
  • Removal of dead animals from yards, garages, sheds, porches and under decks

What New Rochelle Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House

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.

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.

Can a dead animal in the wall make me sick?

The air itself is rarely the main concern, but germs on the carcass and fluids, plus flies and other pests, can spread through the home. The odor can also bother people with asthma. Prompt removal lowers the risk.

Who removes dead animals from the road or yard?

Rules vary by city and county. Animal services or public works often remove animals from public roads and property, while private property is usually the owner's responsibility. Call your city or county animal services to learn what applies.

What should I do first if I smell something dead?

Open windows where it is safe, keep children and pets away, and try to note where the smell is strongest. Do not tear open walls. Call New Rochelle Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.
