Many of Pennsylvania's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Pennsylvania's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:

• Humane wildlife trapping and relocaton services
• Removal of raccoons or squirrels from the attic
• Building repairs and prevention work to keep animals out
• 100% permanent elimination of rats, mice, or even bats
• Cleanup of animal waste and odor control services
• Emergency animal issues, and dead animal removal

We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Washington county animal services for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Canonsburg animal control for wildlife issues.

Canonsburg Wildlife Removal Tip:

How Do I Locate and Remove a Dead Raccoon?

Raccoons are undoubtedly one of the most common urban pests in North America. With their prevalence in the community, it is not surprising for them to end up in our home. Sometimes, we can even encounter a dead raccoon in the inconspicuous area of our home. Managing a dead animal is a complex procedure. It is necessary to have knowledge and experience to handle and dispose of the carcass. Wildlife professionals and health officials will discourage you from dealing with the dead body on your own. You could be unknowingly exposing yourself to potential health risks.

How Should I Find the Dead Raccoon?

When you have a dead raccoon, you will not be aware of it until you smell that putrid scent. The odor will resemble rotten flesh with a strong stench of toxic gasses like methane and sulfur dioxide. You need to act immediately since it will just get messier if you delay the solution. Moreover, it will be difficult for you to ignore the situation. For an animal as large as a raccoon, the nauseating scent may remain for months. Finding the carcass can be completed by following the signs.

• Scent- It may sound disgusting but that is your first option. Look for the dead body of the raccoon in the area where the scent is more pronounced. Be sure that you will wear protective gear before going into this room. After you distinguished the location with the strongest smell, open the windows to improve the quality of air.


• Insects- Now, observe the room and look for signs like insects. For instance, there should be an ant trail that you should follow and will eventually lead you to the dead creature. If there are no ants, there should be a noticeable presence of flies in the area where the carcass is located. Maggots can also help you identify the location of the body.


• Stains- If you still can't have a visual sighting of the dead body, there is a chance that it is trapped in the void of your walls or the ceiling. The dead body will release fluids during its decomposition stage. Those fluids will create a distinguishable stain that will be hard to miss.

How Do I Remove the Dead Raccoon?

When removing any dead animal, you must know how to protect yourself first. You should also be knowledgeable on the local ordinances regarding the proper disposal of the carcass. Perhaps the best solution would be to hire a dead animal removal service. They will send people who specialize in this procedure and will deal with all matters including decontamination.

However, if you plan to do this on your own. Wear a face mask, goggles, and disposable gloves. Use a shovel to pick up the dead body and place it in a box. Seal the box properly and put the box in a garbage bag. If you are allowed, you can dispose of it in your trashcan, but leave a note on the plastic bag so the waste disposal company will be aware of the content.
