Finding and Removing a Dead Animal in Loveland, CO
Dead animal cleanup goes beyond pickup. As an animal decomposes, fluids soak into insulation, drywall, carpet and wood, so the job includes removing and replacing those materials and sanitizing what remains.
When an animal dies in a wall, attic or vent in Loveland, call Loveland Biohazard Cleanup Help and get a crew that tracks the smell to its source. You get the carcass removed, the area disinfected and the odor treated, anywhere in Larimer County.
Most housing in Larimer County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, so a smell is usually noticed quickly, but wall voids and crawl spaces still hide carcasses. At about 16 inches of rain a year in Loveland, animals look for shelter in different seasons, so dead animal calls can come at any time of year.
What dead animal removal & cleanup covers:
- Sealing and bagging of waste for proper disposal according to local rules

Common Questions About Carcass Removal in Loveland, CO
How do I get a dead mouse smell out of a wall?
The smell comes from the carcass and any fluids, so the animal has to be found and removed. Air fresheners only cover it. After removal, the area is cleaned and treated, which usually clears the smell.
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.
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.
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 Loveland 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.
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.
