Only about 16% of homes in Hobart were built before 1980, but newer homes still have attics, vents and wall voids that animals can reach. Most housing in Brown 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:
- Follow-up odor checks and notes on repairs that other trades will need to make

- Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Hobart, WI
Will the smell go away on its own?
Eventually it fades, but that can take weeks, and fluids that soaked into insulation, carpet or wood keep releasing odor. Removing the animal and treating the area is much faster than waiting.
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 Hobart Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
What diseases can a dead animal carry?
Dead animals can carry bacteria, parasites and viruses that pass to people and pets through touch or contaminated surfaces. Wild animals may also carry illnesses such as rabies. Avoid contact and let a cleanup team handle removal.
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.
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.
