Aetna Estates is on the drier side, with about 14 inches of rain a year, but drought can push animals toward buildings for shelter and water, and some do not make it out. Most housing in Arapahoe 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.
A typical dead animal removal & cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of nests, droppings and parasite debris around the carcass
- Odor removal and deodorizing at the source of the smell
- Cleanup of fluids and stains left on floors, walls, insulation and subfloors
- Removal of soaked insulation, carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be saved
- Gentle, private cleanup after a family pet has died at home

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Aetna Estates, CO
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.
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.
How do you find a dead animal in a wall?
The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and looks for flies and stains. Sometimes a small camera or a small opening in drywall is needed. Once the animal is found, it is removed and the area is cleaned.
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.
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.
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.
