Dead Rodent, Raccoon and Opossum Removal in Rib Mountain and Marathon County
Carcass removal is the safe handling and disposal of a dead animal, whether it is a mouse in a wall, a raccoon in an attic or a larger animal on a property. Crews wear gloves and respirators because fluids can carry germs.
Whether you own a home, rent it out or manage property in Rib Mountain, WI, you can get dead animal cleanup anywhere in Marathon County by calling Rib Mountain Biohazard Cleanup Help. Crews work at any hour in attics, crawl spaces, garages, sheds, ductwork and yards.
Most housing in Marathon 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. A July high of 80 degrees in Rib Mountain affects how quickly a carcass breaks down and how far the smell travels through a building.

- Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved

What Rib Mountain Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House
Is it safe to stay home during dead animal cleanup?
For work in an attic or crawl space, many people stay in the home while the crew works with containment. For heavy odor or large animals, you may prefer to be away. The team will say what makes sense for your situation.
What can be saved after a dead animal?
Hard surfaces, wood framing and items in sealed containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that soaked up fluids are generally removed. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
Why is insulation removed after a dead animal?
Insulation soaks up fluids and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Leaving it in place means the smell can return. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.
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.
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.
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.
