💀👃 Dead Animal Smell? Here’s What It Could Be (and What We Do About It)

That awful smell coming from your attic, wall, or crawl space isn’t your imagination. A persistent, rotting odor is often the sign of a dead animal somewhere inside your home.

At Rogue Pest & Wildlife Control, we specialize in locating and removing animal carcasses—and preventing the issue from happening again.

🧭 What Causes the Smell?

The most common causes of a dead animal smell in Florida homes include:

• A rat or mouse that died in the attic or wall void

• A raccoon or opossum trapped and died after entry

• Squirrels, bats, or birds that got stuck and couldn’t escape

• Unfinished exclusion work from previous pest control companies

Decomposition odors can last weeks and attract other pests like flies, beetles, and maggots.

👃 What Does It Smell Like?

It’s hard to describe—but impossible to ignore:

• A mix of rotten meat, mustiness, and ammonia

• Stronger in the heat or during the day

• Lingers and spreads through vents or walls

If the smell worsens daily or you see flies, act immediately.

🛠️ What Rogue Does About It

We handle this situation discreetly and effectively. Our process includes:

• 🧭 Full inspection to locate carcass (thermal or scent-based)

• 🧤 Safe removal of the animal remains

• 🧼 Sanitation and odor neutralization
