We are experts in dead animal removal, and take our job seriously. When removing dead animals, we do a COMPLETE job — not only do we remove the dead animal from your home or yard, we also decontaminate the area, deodorize it, and dispose of the animal or cremate it. If you aren't sure whether the stench in your house is due to a rotting carcass or another reason, we can sniff it out with our noses from our years of experience. We remove dead raccoons, dead opossums, dead skunks, dead squirrels, dead birds, even dead dogs and cats. We frequently remove dead rodents from inside walls, because poison kills rats and mice, who die in your house. We completely solve your dead animal problem by taking these steps:

• Sniff out the dead animal if it is somewhere in your home
• When necessary, for example if the animal is in a wall or under your house, cut a hole to remove the animal
• Remove the dead animal, safely and completely (and seal the hole if needed)
• Finish the job by decontaminating and deodorizing your home
• Properly dispose of the dead animal through incineration or other means
• Prevent it from happening again by finding out how they got in your house

Dead animal carcass removal is specialty work. Sometimes the job is simple, such as a dead opossum in the yard, in which case we can simply wear our gloves and respirator mask, bag the carcass, and take it away for incineration. Sometimes this is more complex, such as when the dead animal is under a home crawlspace, under a porch or deck or shed. Or if the animal is larger, such as a dog or a deer. The most complex cases are dead animals inside the house. The animal may have died inside the attic, or down in the walls, or the duct work, or any other part of the architecture. You may have a bad smell in your home, and you're not even sure what's causing it. We've removed not just dead animals, but rotting food, bad mold, etc. We specialize in locating the source of the smell, and we very commonly cut a hole in the ceiling or wall to remove the animal. We remove every bit of the carcass, mop up the juices, vacuum the maggots, spray it and wipe it down with disinfectant, cleaner, and we repair the hole we cut. In some cases we use ozone machines to neutralize odor.

Green Bay Dead Animal Tip: How long does it take for a dead rat to start smelling, and then stop smelling

Rats will often create nests inside homes. They’re warm, safe, and full of food. For the rat, it’s a fantastic deal. But for homeowners, it’s a potential problem. Even worse, that rat may die, leading to a rotting rat carcass stinking up your home. At first, the smell won’t be noticeable, but over time it will gradually worsen. That’s when you notice the smell and realize there’s a problem.

Therefore, understanding when a rat starts smelling is vitally important.
If you find such a dead rat, try and throw it out immediately. The longer it stays, the worse the smell gets. Always practice good hygiene and safety standards when doing so. That means wearing gloves, masks, and long-sleeved clothing, at the minimum. Rat’s harbor many potentially deadly diseases. So, be careful. However, suppose the rat has managed to get into a location that isn’t easily accessible. In that case, you may be forced to leave it in place. By doing so, you’ll have to wait for the rat to decompose before the smell stops naturally.

The start and stop times of a dead rat smell
Following the death of a dead rat, expect to notice the smell within three days. The smell will peak within the week and then will stop smelling around 14 days after.

Of course, that’s not a clockwork timeline. Multiple factors influence how long it takes a rat to decompose, and by extension, how long the smell will last.

Factors to consider: the location of the carcass, the body size, temperature and humidity of the area, and the presence of decomposers such as flies. In a warm, damp location with a small rat, the body will decompose rapidly. However, if it’s stuck in a crevice in the attic during winter, decomposition may slow to a crawl. That’s because temperature and moisture help sustain the microorganisms – like bacteria – that feed on the corpse. Additionally, places such as air vents will distribute the smell throughout the entire house. So, if you’re dealing with a dead rat there, you can expect the smell to last longer.

What to do?
If you notice the rancid smell of a decaying rat, you need to act quickly. Remember, by the time you notice the smell, at least three days have gone by. Locate the area where the smell is most pungent, and find the carcass.

Once you’ve located the carcass, place it into a sealable heavy-duty plastic bag. Then, remove it from the area. You’ll want to clean the location using disinfectants and enzyme-based cleaners thoroughly.

Then, ventilate the room or location. Fresh air will help draw away the smell, speeding up the process of returning to normal. You can also use deodorizers. Branded deodorizers have mixed effectiveness. However, many people opt for homemade deodorizers using household equipment. For instance, charcoal briquettes are porous, making them highly effective at soaking up smells. A baking soda solution is also effective, as is cat litter, which has well-known absorbent properties. You may also want to use scented candles or air fresheners to cover up the smell at first. Most of all, avoid the smell in the first place. Deal with rat infestations immediately, and remove attractants that may draw them in. Additionally, don’t place down poison. The rat will head to their nest to die, making it harder for you to find them.

To recap
Dead rats begin to smell within the first three days. The smell will then linger for at least two weeks. However, these times are provisional, being dependent on factors such as temperature, humidity, size and location of the rat, and presence of flies

If you think you smell a dead rat, search high and low to find the carcass. Remove immediately and thoroughly clean the area. Then, use deodorizers to speed up the smell fading. You will also want to prevent future reoccurrences. That means sealing up holes in walls or foundations, looking for access points in the attic, or any small opening. By closing these up and reducing attractants, you can stop rats from entering and dying on your property. No more dead rat smell ever again.
