Finding a dead animal inside your Manor home—or somewhere on your property—isn’t just unpleasant; it can quickly escalate into a major health concern. The odor alone can be overwhelming, but even more concerning are the bacteria, parasites, and pests that dead animals attract. That’s why Critter Stop offers fast and professional Manor dead animal removal services that don’t just remove the carcass but also sanitize the space, identify how the animal got in, and help prevent future incidents.
Whether it’s a mouse in the wall, a raccoon in the attic, or a skunk under your deck, our licensed team responds quickly to resolve the issue, disinfect the area, and restore safety to your home.
When an animal dies on your property, especially within walls, attics, or crawlspaces, the problems that follow are serious and time-sensitive. Ignoring the issue can lead to:
✔ Severe Odors – The stench of decomposition can penetrate walls, ventilation systems, and soft surfaces
✔ Insect Infestations – Maggots, flies, and other pests are attracted to rotting carcasses
✔ Structural Damage – Fluids from decomposition can damage insulation, drywall, and wooden beams
✔ Airborne Health Risks – Dead animals near HVAC systems can spread bacteria throughout the house
✔ Diseases – Bacteria like salmonella and parasites like fleas or mites can spread to humans and pets
That’s why homeowners in Manor trust Critter Stop to respond quickly and handle dead animal removal safely and thoroughly.
Many dead animals aren’t found immediately. Instead, they leave behind signs that worsen with time. Common indicators include:
✔ Strong, Lingering Odor – A worsening, rotten smell often indicates a decomposing carcass
✔ Dark or Wet Spots on Ceilings or Walls – These may be from decomposing fluids
✔ Flies or Maggots Appearing Suddenly Indoors
✔ Odd Behavior from Pets – Dogs and cats may scratch, sniff, or paw at the area where the body is hidden
✔ Sudden Silence – If you previously heard noises like scratching or movement and they suddenly stop, the animal may have died
If any of these signs sound familiar, call Critter Stop immediately for a professional inspection.
At Critter Stop, we don’t just remove the problem—we solve it at its source. Our thorough process ensures your home is left clean, safe, and critter-free:
1. Locate the Source
Our team begins with a full property inspection to find the carcass. Common hiding spots include wall voids, attics, basements, ducts, and crawlspaces.
2. Safe and Legal Removal
We carefully remove the animal using personal protective equipment and follow all local health and sanitation laws for proper disposal.
3. Decontamination and Odor Control
The affected area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. We use professional-grade deodorizing agents that eliminate the source of the smell—not just mask it.
4. Repair and Sanitize
If damage was caused by decomposition, we offer repairs including insulation replacement, drywall patching, and contaminated material disposal.
5. Entry Point Identification and Sealing
Our final step is ensuring it doesn’t happen again. We inspect for entry points and seal them using durable, critter-resistant materials.
