A: Skunks produce a terrible smell when startled. The skunk will spray a foul-smelling oil through the nipples that originate from two glands next to the anus. If the skunk has sprayed in the attic then a very strong smell will take over the home. Also, the skunk could have died in the wall and a dead animal removal needs to be performed to get rid of the smell.
A: It is very possible. The opossum is one of the largest carriers of the cat flea. When an opossum dies the fleas need a new host and a house pet is a desired choice.
Cockroaches
A: A honeycomb in the wall will attract roaches and rats. The honey in the honeycomb will stay in the wall for years creating a major pest problem. The honey will seep through the drywall creating costly home repairs.
Bees
A: Not before they do significant damage. Once bees live in a wall or in an attic they will usually stay. The bees will make a honeycomb in the wall and up in the attic. Honeycombs will not go away on their own. Once the bees are removed, the honeycomb needs to be removed as well.
Wasps
Ticks
A: Yes. A dead animal will harvest bacteria and mold, have ecto-parasites like fleas and ticks, and produce a very strong foul smell. The dead animal needs to be removed, disinfected and deodorized to get rid of the smell, mold and bacteria. The ecto-parasites then need to be exterminated before they find a new host.
Flies
A: When flies are found flying all over a house, it is usually a sign that there is a dead animal in the attic or in a wall.
Hornets
Yellow Jackets
Stinging Insects
A: If the honeycomb was not removed then another colony of honey bees will be attracted to that same location. If the honeycomb was removed, there may be an older honeycomb somewhere in the house. If this honeycomb cannot be located then stinging insect control may be necessary.
Mites
A: The ecto-parasites that once lived on the dead animal can no longer use that host and will seek out a new one. These ecto-parasites can transmit diseases and become a pest that needs to be exterminated. Some examples of ecto-parasites are fleas which can transmit typhus, ticks which can transmit lime disease, mites which can cause scabies and lice which can cause hair loss.
A: Not before they do significant damage. Once bats live in your attic they will usually stay. Bats leave guano, bat feces, and urine in the insulation and soffit areas. This guano is very dangerous and can cause serious health problems. If the bats ever leave other bats are attracted to that smell and will make your attic their new home.
A: Not before it does significant damage. Once a raccoon lives in your attic it will usually stay. Raccoons leave their feces and urine in the insulation and soffit areas. If that raccoon ever leaves other raccoons are attracted to that smell and will make your attic their new home.
Snakes
Wildlife
A: Ducks can do expensive and annoying damage to areas like pool decks, porches, sidewalks and parking lots. If a Muscovy duck invades an attic then the insulation and drywall can be ruined. When duck removal is necessary the ducks need to be trapped and removed by the wildlife removal specialists at Allstar Animal Removal.
Opossums
A: Not before it does significant damage. Once an opossum lives in your attic it will usually stay. Opossums leave their feces and urine in the insulation and soffit areas. If that opossum ever leaves other opossums will be attracted to that smell and will make your attic their new home.
Armadillos
A: Armadillos dig holes in the ground called burrows or dens. These armadillo dens are used as shelter and can be up to 15 feet deep and 15 feet long.
Coyotes
A: Dead raccoons, dead squirrels, dead rats, dead mice, dead opossums, dead foxes, dead coyotes, dead feral cats and dead armadillos are the most common animals found while doing a dead animal removal under a home.
Porcupines
Iguanas
A: There are many exotic species of lizards that can be found in ponds, streams, springs, rivers, lakes, marshes, swamps, reservoirs, canals, retention pools and roadside ditches. These exotic lizards like monitors and iguanas were probably someone’s pet and released into the wild because they got too big. These exotic lizards are breeding and in some parts of Florida are running wild. These large lizards need to be carefully trapped and removed. Most wild iguanas are very aggressive and will bite. Monitors eat baby birds and can eliminate a native bird species in the area they inhabit. Call a wildlife biologist at Allstar Animal Removal to help identify if the lizard is dangerous and if it needs to be removed.
A: Once the dead animal is removed, then a trapping session may be needed to remove any other animals that might be in the attic. When the trapping session is completed then Allstar Animal Removal will do a full exclusion on your home. Any areas the animal was getting in your home or could possibly get into your home will be closed off. If the dead animal was a rat or mouse then rodent control may be necessary.
Mice
A: When animals like rats and mice live in the attic they will sometimes die. One of the rats or mice probably fell into a wall and died. If the rat or mouse died in the wall it needs to be removed to get rid of the smell.
Rats
A: First call Allstar Animal Removal to perform an inspection of the attic determine if there are other mice or rats in the attic. If a baby rat or mouse was found then there are probably others and they will need to be trapped.
Squirrels
A: Not before they do significant damage. Once a squirrel lives in your attic it will usually stay. Squirrels leave their feces and urine in the insulation and soffit areas. If the squirrel ever leaves other squirrels are attracted to that smell and will make your attic their new home.
Voles
A: Not necessarily. Armadillos will dig holes under fences but so will other animals depending on the size of the hole. Raccoons, opossum, dogs, skunks, foxes and coyotes will dig larger holes and moles, voles and sometimes rats and mice will dig smaller holes.
