Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

How quickly can you respond to a dead animal removal call?

Accepted Answer

We offer same-day and next-day service throughout the Nashville metro area. In most cases we can respond within a few hours of your call. Call 615-208-6115 to get an estimated arrival time.

Question 2

What types of animals do you remove?

Accepted Answer

We remove all species of dead wildlife and domestic animals, including deer, raccoons, opossums, skunks, birds, rodents (mice, rats, squirrels), turtles, dogs, and cats. If you are unsure whether we handle a particular animal, just call and ask.

Question 3

How much does dead animal removal cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on the species, size, location, and condition of the carcass. A small rodent removal is priced differently than a large deer. Call 615-208-6115 for a free quote — we are upfront about pricing before we arrive.

Question 4

Do you remove animals from inside walls or crawl spaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dead rodents and other small animals frequently end up inside walls, attics, and crawl spaces. We locate the carcass, remove it, and treat the area for odor and bacteria. In some cases access panels may need to be cut — we will discuss this with you before proceeding.

Question 5

Can you get rid of the smell after removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Removing the carcass eliminates the source, but residual fluids and bacteria can continue to produce odor. We offer professional odor control treatment that neutralizes the smell at the source rather than just masking it.

Question 6

Is dead animal removal covered by homeowners insurance?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your policy. Some homeowners insurance policies cover animal removal, particularly if the animal caused structural damage. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask. We can provide documentation of the removal if needed for a claim.

Question 7

Do you serve areas outside of Nashville?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We serve the entire Nashville metro area including Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Smyrna, Nolensville, Spring Hill, Gallatin, and Mount Juliet. Call 615-208-6115 to confirm service in your area.

Question 8

Is it safe to handle a dead animal myself?

Accepted Answer

Dead animals can carry diseases, parasites, and bacteria that pose health risks. Direct contact without proper protective equipment is not recommended. Our technicians use appropriate PPE and follow safe handling and disposal procedures.

Question 9

What do you do with the carcass after removal?

Accepted Answer

Carcasses are disposed of in compliance with Tennessee state regulations. We handle all disposal logistics — you do not need to worry about where the animal ends up.

Question 10

Do you work on weekends and holidays?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dead animals do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call 615-208-6115 any day of the week and we will do our best to get to you as quickly as possible.
