Dead Rat Removal - Fast, Careful and Discreet
Rats find their way into the corners of a house easily - and even after you have tried to get rid of them, they can end up dead in a hard-to-reach spot. A dead rat in the roof, in a wall cavity or under the floor is an urgent problem for your property and for the comfort of everyone inside. David's Dead Animal Removal finds and removes dead rats from homes, offices and other properties. We use modern equipment and follow a clear, step-by-step process, then clean the area so your space is comfortable again. We regularly deal with dead rats in the roof, dead rats in walls, dead rats in the ceiling and dead rats under the house, as well as sheds, garages and beneath decks and porches.
Signs There May Be a Dead Rat on Your Property
You don't always see a dead animal - often you notice the signs first. Common signs include:
- A strong, persistent rotting smell that gets worse over time
- Flies or maggots gathering in one spot
- Dark or greasy stains on ceilings, walls or floors
- Scratching or scurrying noises that suddenly stop
- Pets sniffing, scratching or staring at one spot
- Ants following a trail to a single area
If you notice any of these, call us. We inspect the whole property to find the animal, even in hidden places.
