About 40% of homes in Jacksonville were built before 1980, and older houses often have more gaps, chimneys and crawl spaces where animals can get in and die. Murray Hill gets about 48 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:
- Disinfection of surfaces and framing with EPA-registered products used by label directions
- Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Sealing and bagging of waste for proper disposal according to local rules
- Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces
- Cleaning and treating of air paths and vents where odor has spread

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Murray Hill, Jacksonville, FL
Why is insulation removed after a dead animal?
Insulation soaks up fluids and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Leaving it in place means the smell can return. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.
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.
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.
Is it safe to stay home during dead animal cleanup?
For work in an attic or crawl space, many people stay in the home while the crew works with containment. For heavy odor or large animals, you may prefer to be away. The team will say what makes sense for your situation.
What should I do with a dead animal I can see?
Do not touch it bare-handed. Wear heavy gloves, place it in a heavy bag, seal it and dispose of it according to local rules. Wash your hands well afterward. If it is large or you are unsure, call for help.
Do cleanup crews deal with live animals?
No. Wildlife and pest professionals deal with live animals and seal entry points. You get a cleanup team for carcasses, fluids, nests and odor, and the two services often work together on the same job.
