Your cleanup team works in gloves, respirators and protective gear and follows workplace safety rules for contaminated materials.
Many homes in Pinellas Park, about 57%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up fluids and hold odor for a long time. Pinellas Park gets about 54 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.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup for vacant, rental and commercial properties with documentation for managers
- Carcass removal from walls, attics, crawl spaces, vents, chimneys and ductwork
- Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved

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 Pinellas Park Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
How do I get a dead mouse smell out of a wall?
The smell comes from the carcass and any fluids, so the animal has to be found and removed. Air fresheners only cover it. After removal, the area is cleaned and treated, which usually clears the smell.
Who do I call to remove a dead animal from my property?
On private property, you usually hire a dead animal removal service or cleanup team. Animal services may remove animals from public roads and property, and rules vary by city and county. For a hidden or large animal, describe the smell and location when you call.
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.
How much does dead animal removal cost?
It depends on where the animal is, its size and how much material must be removed. A pickup in plain sight costs less than a job inside a wall. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
How long does a dead animal smell last?
The smell can last a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the animal, the weather and where it died. It fades faster once the animal and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated.
