General dead animal removal
The base of everything here: wildlife that died on a Minneapolis property — in plain sight, half-hidden under a deck, anywhere it can be reached without cutting into a finished wall, ceiling or plaster — gets bagged, hauled off, and disposed of properly by the operator.
Removal from the house
Walls, attics, chimneys, basements, crawl spaces. Traced first, recovered where real access reaches it without cutting a finished surface, cavity treated after.
Full page →Walls & attics
Two places carcasses hide in this housing stock — traced to the bay, then recovered where the attic above or the basement below reaches it without cutting a finished surface. A truly sealed bay gets a timeline and practical help with the smell, not a demolition quote.
Where they hide →Odor & carcass location
Smell with no animal in sight. Traced to the source, removed where it can be reached without cutting, and the spot deodorized once it’s out.
Full page →Dead deer removal
Private-property deer lifted out and taken to a designated facility, per Hennepin County’s disposal guidance.
Full page →Scrub-down & deodorizing
Part of a proper recovery: the spot it was lying on gets disinfected and deodorized. Hauling the animal out and leaving that spot untreated isn’t a finished job — ask for it when the operator quotes.
What belongs to someone else
- Carcasses in the public street — report those to Minneapolis 311; the city handles its right-of-way at no cost to you.
- Live trapping and exclusion — this line is for animals that have already died. Mention anything still moving when you call, and you’ll leave the call knowing who handles that instead.
- Injured wildlife — a live, hurt animal is a call to the authorities, not a removal service.
