  2. Dispatch within four hours (often same day) to your address
  3. On-site recovery with PPE — heavy-mil bags, gloves, respirator if odor is heavy

  5. Odor neutralization on indoor recoveries (enzymatic treatment for attic / wall calls)

When to call

When Should You Call Us?

Rabies vector species. If you or a pet had any contact with this animal, contact your physician AND the Ohio Department of Health Bureau of Infectious Diseases for rabies post-exposure consultation. We handle the carcass; rabies post-exposure is a separate medical decision.

In Ohio, dead animal pickup splits by location. Carcasses in the public right-of-way (city streets, sidewalks) are handled by city public works departments. State routes and interstates are handled by the Ohio Department of Transportation. Carcasses on private property — your yard, attic, driveway, crawlspace — are the homeowner's responsibility. Ohio Dead Animal Removal connects you with a licensed wildlife operator who can be on-site within 4 hours, often same-day.

Indoor recoveries (attic, walls, crawlspace) cost $200-$600 because they involve access cuts, sanitize work, and entry-point assessment.

Most Ohio metros we serve get on-site response within 4 hours of the phone quote. Same-day pickup is the default for outdoor calls (yard, driveway, road frontage).

Same-day pickup for the seven most-called Ohio wildlife species: raccoon, white-tailed deer, squirrel, opossum, skunk, bird, and domestic cat.
