Dead Animal Removal · Houston, TX

Dead Animal Removal built for Greater Houston

A dead animal inside a Houston wall or attic is almost always one of the species already active locally — rats & roof rats, raccoons, opossums. Rat and roof-rat pressure runs year-round; snake calls spike May–September. We thermal-image the exact location, cut the smallest possible access, remove the carcass, and enzyme-treat the cavity so odor is neutralized at the source.

What to expect

How a dead animal removal job runs in Houston

Same process on every Houston call — no surprises, no upsells mid-job. Every step is performed under a Texas Department of Agriculture WCO license.

  1. 1. Locate

    Houston dispatch under 2 hours. Technician arrives with a thermal camera to pinpoint the carcass — usually between studs, in insulation, or in a soffit run.

  2. 2. Access plan

    We plan the smallest possible drywall or soffit access before cutting. Where we cut, we patch — no unfinished holes left behind.

  3. 3. Remove & sanitize

    Carcass is bagged and removed, the cavity is treated with hospital-grade enzyme, and any contaminated insulation is bagged out. Odor is neutralized at the source, not masked.

  4. 4. Follow-up

    If odor lingers after the enzyme cures, we return at no charge to re-treat. Nine times out of ten, one visit is all it takes.

Why Houston needs dead animal removal

Roof rats are a Houston-specific problem — attic droppings, chewed wiring, and 3am scratching don't fix themselves.

A dead animal in your wall or attic can make a home unlivable. We locate the source, remove the carcass, sanitize the area with hospital-grade enzymes, and neutralize odor at the source — not just mask it.

Squirrels in the soffit off Westheimer

Luis found the entry point in 15 minutes — a chewed gable vent I'd missed for a year. Exclusion mesh, one-way door, follow-up visit. Straightforward pricing, no upsell.

Marisol T.Houston, TX · Jun 2026

Smell in the wall — found it fast

Called Sunday morning, Derek was here Monday before lunch. Cut a small access hole, removed the animal, sanitized, patched drywall. Whole visit was under two hours. Nothing but professional.

Josh H.Raleigh, NC · Feb 2026

German roaches gone from a Winter Park kitchen

Diego was patient with my questions and pet-safe about every product. Baited out, dusted voids, followed up at two weeks. Clean kitchen for the first time in a year.

Carla P.Orlando, FL · Jun 2026

Bat colony removed the right way

Trevor explained the whole maternity-season timeline and didn't try to rush the exclusion. Waited until pups could fly, sealed the ridge cap, guano cleanup was thorough. Have not heard a scratch in the attic since.

Bianca R.Charlotte, NC · May 2026

Mice out of the basement finally

Two other companies just kept setting traps. Aaron actually sealed the sill plate and dryer vent — root cause. Traps stayed empty after the third week. Should've called them first.

Marcus L.Indianapolis, IN · May 2026

Rats in the garage — Logan Square

Ryan didn't just bait. He mapped the burrows, sealed the foundation gaps behind the trash cans, and coordinated with the alderman's rat abatement. Three months clean. Very Chicago-savvy.
