But there is no free dead animal removal in Waukegan for a carcass on your property or in your home. If you have a bad smell in your house, a decaying animal is a good guess, especially if you've had a pest control company that poisoned rodents. But all animals die, and many of them do so in houses, or under your shed, or deck, or porch, or attic, or crawlspace. We are the experts that can remove it and make the smell go away!

Waukegan dead animal tip of the month: Do odor removing bags work? - Odor remover bags are just as described: bags that you hang throughout your home to help you eliminate odors. While the contents of these bags varies depending on manufacturer, most have some form of absorbent material inside, like charcoal. The theory is that contents of the bag will attract the odor molecules and bind with them, therefore eliminating any smells in the room in which the bags hang. While it is true that you can eliminate odors in this manner (like putting an open container of baking soda in your refrigerator), the efficacy of these bags against a dead animal smell is debatable. While some people say they've met with success, many have not. Unfortunately, when an animal dies in or under your home, the body is not laying out in the open. If it were, you'd have cleaned it up already. Odor eliminator bags need to be in the same space as the source of an odor, so putting one in a room when you know the dead animal is in the wall is like putting a band aid over a severed arm. Unfortunately, the only real way to be rid of the odor is to wait it out (which could take months) or to find the body within the walls and remove all the organic material.
