When to call

When Should You Call Us?

As soon as you notice the carcass — or the smell. Decomposition begins within 24 hours in warm weather, and the smell roughly doubles every 24 hours after that. Earlier removal = less odor remediation needed = lower cost.

Rabies vector species. If you or a pet had any contact with this animal, contact your physician AND the PA DOH Bureau of Infectious Diseases for rabies post-exposure consultation. We handle the carcass; rabies post-exposure is a separate medical decision.

Who picks up dead animals in Pennsylvania?
In Pennsylvania, dead animal pickup splits by location. Carcasses in the public right-of-way (city streets, sidewalks) are handled by city public works departments. State routes and interstates are handled by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Carcasses on private property — your yard, attic, driveway, crawlspace — are the homeowner's responsibility. Pennsylvania Dead Animal Removal connects you with a licensed wildlife operator who can be on-site within 4 hours, often same-day.
How much does dead animal removal cost in Pennsylvania?
Most Pennsylvania residential outdoor recoveries (yard, driveway) cost $75-$185. Indoor recoveries (attic, walls, crawlspace) cost $200-$600 because they involve access cuts, sanitize work, and entry-point assessment. Dead deer removal runs $200-$400 due to the weight and equipment required. Pricing is quoted on the initial phone call — no per-hour surprises, no hidden fees.
How fast can you remove a dead animal from my property?
Most Pennsylvania metros we serve get on-site response within 4 hours of the phone quote. Same-day pickup is the default for outdoor calls (yard, driveway, road frontage). Indoor recoveries (attic, walls) may need a next-business-day appointment if access tools are required. Rabies-vector species (raccoon, skunk, bat, fox) and rut-season deer get priority dispatch.
What animals do you handle?
Same-day pickup for the seven most-called Pennsylvania wildlife species: raccoon, white-tailed deer, squirrel, opossum, skunk, bird, and domestic cat.
