What rules apply to dead animal removal in Pennsylvania?
Rules for removing and disposing of dead animals vary by city and county, and animal services handle public property in many places. Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials. Ask your city or county what applies where you are.
How long does a dead animal smell last?

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 East Brady Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
How do you find a dead animal in a wall?
The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and looks for flies and stains. Sometimes a small camera or a small opening in drywall is needed. Once the animal is found, it is removed and the area is cleaned.
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.
