Dead Rodent, Raccoon and Opossum Removal in New Glarus and Green 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.

Many homes in New Glarus, about 72%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up fluids and hold odor for a long time. Most housing in Green County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses.
The work often covers:
- Removal of dead animals from yards, garages, sheds, porches and under decks
- Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved
- Gentle, private cleanup after a family pet has died at home
- Cleanup of nests, droppings and parasite debris around the carcass
- Cleanup of fluids and stains left on floors, walls, insulation and subfloors

What New Glarus Property Owners Ask About a Dead Animal in the House
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.
Will insurance cover dead animal cleanup?
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from animals or pests, and wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what paperwork it needs.
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.
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.
Can I just leave a dead animal in the wall?
It is not a good idea. The odor can last for weeks, flies and other pests may follow, and fluids can stain drywall and insulation. Removal and cleanup are safer and faster than waiting.
Can I remove a dead animal myself?
Sometimes. A small animal in plain sight can be bagged with gloves and a heavy bag, sealed and disposed of properly. Hidden, large or long-dead animals are a different job, because fluids soak into materials and germs can spread.
