A persistent, worsening foul smell in the house usually means one thing: an animal
has died somewhere inside: in a wall, the attic, a crawlspace, or a vent. It won't
go away on its own, and masking it doesn't work. Marietta Wildlife Removal locates the source,
removes the carcass, and deodorizes the area so your home is livable again.
Call (678) 693-3668. We answer 24/7.
Why you can't just wait it out
A dead animal in a wall cavity gets worse before it gets better, and the odor can
linger for weeks while attracting flies and other pests. The only real fix is
finding and removing the carcass, which often means pinpointing the exact spot
behind drywall or deep in the attic. That's not a pleasant DIY job, and it's easy to
open the wrong wall guessing.
How we handle it
- Locate: we track the source by smell, sight, and where wildlife has been
active, minimizing any cutting - Remove: safe extraction of the carcass and any contaminated material
- Deodorize: treat the area to eliminate odor at the source, not cover it
- Seal: because a dead animal inside usually means a live one got in first,
we identify and close the entry point
Often the sign of a bigger problem
An animal that died inside got in somehow, so a dead-animal call frequently reveals
an active entry point or an ongoing infestation. We resolve the immediate smell and
check for the underlying way in, so you're not back here in a month.
