Prince Frederick gets about 48 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. Only about 32% of homes in Calvert County were built before 1980, but newer homes still have attics, vents and wall voids that animals can reach.

1. Safety first

The crew checks for hazards such as tight access, weak flooring and electrical wires before entering the area.

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Prince Frederick, MD

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 Prince Frederick Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

What should I do with a dead animal I can see?

Do not touch it bare-handed. Wear heavy gloves, place it in a heavy bag, seal it and dispose of it according to local rules. Wash your hands well afterward. If it is large or you are unsure, call for help.

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.

Do cleanup crews deal with live animals?

No. Wildlife and pest professionals deal with live animals and seal entry points. You get a cleanup team for carcasses, fluids, nests and odor, and the two services often work together on the same job.

Can cleanup stop animals from getting in again?

No. Cleanup removes the carcass and odor but does not close entry points. A wildlife or pest professional can seal gaps. Removing odor does help, since scent can draw other animals to the same spot.
