Dead Animal Removal & Odor Control | On Call 24/7!
Dead Animal Removal can be pretty disgusting work! It may not be the most glamorous service we provide, but it's easily one of our most appreciated.
When an animal dies inside your home, it naturally begins to decompose, and the stench that follows is often unbearable. Without locating the source and removing it, the smell can take several weeks before it even starts to dissipate. The dead animal is also a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, hundreds of flies and thousands of maggots. To put it plainly, you wont be able to wait this one out!
If an Animal has died on your property, Call Us immediately! (866) 977-4607
We don't pick up roadkill off sidewalks or streets. We also don't remove domestic pets. For these issues, please Call your Local Animal Control Department.

Dead Animal Removal in Putnam County, NY - Dead Animal in the Wall
Homeowners don't often realize that using poison* for rodent control regularly leads mice dying inside their walls. It's shocking how horrendous a single dead mouse can smell, but once it starts to permeate the house, it quickly becomes unbearable! As the animal begins to decompose, it becomes a breeding ground from disease vectors like flies and maggots. If left untreated, the smell can linger for months, before beginning to dissipate.
TriState Wildlife never uses poisons or harmful chemicals when removing nuisance wildlife, including rodents. Targeted trapping programs are more humane and effective in solving the issue. Please do not use poisons inside your home!... Continue Reading on Google+

Homeowner Trapped a Raccoon Family Under His Deck - Westchester, NY
We got a call from a homeowner in Westchester NY, asking about our Raccoon Trapping Programs. He said there was a family of raccoons living on his property, and he wanted our help relocating them. As soon as we got out of the truck, we were hit by an unbelievable smell of death, coming from under the deck. We also noticed freshly poured gravel and cinder blocks that closed up all of the decks openings.
The homeowner said the raccoons had been living under the deck, but he sealed them out a couple weeks back. We asked him how long the rotting smell had been around, but he still hadn't put two and two together. In his haste to fix the problem himself, he actually trapped the entire family of raccoons under his deck, causing them a painfully slow and cruel death.
In order to get rid of the horrific smell, we needed to locate and remove every decomposing carcasses. This was a process of following our nose to where the odor was most pungent, and pulling up deck boards one at a time, until all bodies were found and removed. After decontaminating and deodorizing everything, we were able to replace the deck boards again.
With the completion of this project comes a stern admonition. Never seal up an animals home, without first having them trapped and relocated. The alternative is more expensive and undeniably disgusting!

Removing a Dead Opossum from Under the Kitchen Floor - Westchester, NY
Occasionally, when an animal is sick, it'll try to find a nice warm place to pass away. In this case, an Opossum dug itself under the house and crawled up into the floor joists. He ended up dying in the insulation, under the kitchen floor. After a few hot summer days, the stench growing the house finally became unbearable.
The Westchester, NY homeowner was told over the phone, that for this type of Dead Animal Removal, we would likely have to cut through the floor to retrieve the carcase. By using the best tool in our arsenal (a finely tuned nose), Kris was able to locate the exact spot the opossum died. After cutting him out of the floor, the space could be decontaminated and deodorized. The flooring was replaced and looked as good as new!

"TriState Wildlife's a great company that can take care of the gross stuff for you. They were fearless in the face of the worst smell I've ever experienced. A poor little skunk died inside one of the basement window wells, after spraying repeatedly. It was a couple of days before I realized what had happened, when the whole house started to reek. TriState came out to remove the skunk and got rid of most of the truely awful smell using their bag of tricks. We're really grateful for their help and hope that it never happens again."

"A dead mouse in the wall is hands down the worst smell that I've ever encountered. Our exterminator told us that the mice would eat the poison in his bait stations and die outside, but he couldn't have been more wrong. The stench seems to be everywhere all at once, but Kris from TriState Wildlife was able to find the dead mouse right away. I don't think that we could have lived with that smell for one more day, so thank you!."
