Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in San Bernardino, CA
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.
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.
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.
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 San Bernardino Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
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.
