Cleary 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. Only about 27% of homes in Rankin County were built before 1980, but newer homes still have attics, vents and wall voids that animals can reach.

The work often covers:

  • Cleanup of nests, droppings and parasite debris around the carcass
  • Cleanup of fluids and stains left on floors, walls, insulation and subfloors
  • Follow-up odor checks and notes on repairs that other trades will need to make

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Cleary, MS

Who pays for dead animal cleanup in a rental?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or property manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

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.

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.

Can a dead animal in the ductwork spread smell through the house?

Yes. Animals can die inside ducts, and the heating and cooling system then moves the odor through every room. Cleanup includes removing the animal and treating vents and duct openings.

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.

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.
