There are Certain Difficulties Associated with the Removal of a Dead Animal
You may know that there is a dead animal somewhere because of the smell that has permeated your home or can be detected in the yard, but you are unable to definitely locate the animal.
Do not assume that since the animal is dead it will be easy to remove.
Once a dead animal has been located many other factors come into play. The animal may have been diseased before it died and these diseases could be transferred from the animal to human beings and pets if the body is not dealt with appropriately.
If you have located a dead animal on your property you need to know how to protect yourself and your family, including your pets, from the risks associated with the spread of disease from a dead animal.
Another factor to consider is that, once the animal has been safely removed, the area around the location will need to be cleaned and sanitized to get rid of all traces of diseased matter and eliminate all parasites that may continue to spread disease.
These are just some of the unknowns associated with the removal of dead animals which makes it much more difficult than removing live animals.
Safety During Dead Animal Removal Process
There are many dangers to health that may occur when dead animals are removed from a property.
While it is obviously unsanitary and dangerous undertaking, it is equally important to ensure that your household and pets are kept safe and pest free afterward.
Your health and safety and those of your family and pests should be the highest priority and therefore it takes the professional skills of experts to complete the job.
This is not something that you should ever attempt on your own.
Sometimes dead animals wind up in the most unlikely places which are mostly cramped and difficult to maneuver in.
You may think that there is no way to access these places in order to do the job, but fortunately, our experienced and highly skilled Critter Catchers Wildlife Removal team is highly trained and equipped to get in anywhere when it comes to removing unwanted pests from your property.
They utilize the best safety equipment like facial masks, gloves, and protective clothing as necessary precautions when handling dead wild animals.
Diseases and Parasites
Many people have an erroneous assumption that because an animal is dead, it can no longer spread disease if it was sick. This is a dangerous assumption as in many ways dead animals are even more contagious than live ones.
You never know how long the animal has been dead, allowing bacteria and parasites to thrive on the carcass.
These pathogens can easily be spread to humans, making them sick and even causing fatal diseases from deadly viruses.
Many wild animals are infested with pests like ticks, mites, and fleas and once their host has died, they quickly look for a new host to attach to, which may be you, your family and your pets.
It is important to realize that the dead carcass of an animal can still spread disease and pests even after death.
These are the factors to consider to ensure that your home remains safe from infestation and disease from a dead animal and the most important reasons why you should avoid any contact with the carcass at all costs.
Who knows what type of microscopic pathogens and germs may be lurking around an infested area. The best solution is to have it removed by experts as soon as possible who will take the necessary steps to thoroughly clean and properly sanitize the infected area.
