Dead Animal Removal Questions
Q: If I leave the dead animal alone will the smell just go away?
A: Depending on the season it could take a very long time for the smell of any dead animal to go away. In the summer a dead animal can smell very strong for a few weeks and then start to get better. In the winter the smell might not be as bad but could last for months. In either case it is important to get the dead animal removed professionally. The smell can be dangerous for someone with respiratory problems and any ecto-parasites that were living on the animal need to be exterminated. Atlanta Wildlife Solutions, LLC will remove the dead animal, exterminate the ecto-parasites and deodorize to reduce the smell.

Some examples of ectopic-parasites are fleas which can transmit typhus, ticks which can transmit lime disease, mites which can cause scabies and lice which can cause hair loss.
