There are few things worse than the persistent, foul odor of a dead animal in your home. Whether it's a rat in the wall, a squirrel in the attic, or a raccoon under the porch, the smell is not only unpleasant but can also pose health risks from bacteria and insect infestations. Don't just mask the scent—eliminate it at the source.
At Critter Guardian, we specialize in dead animal location and odor removal. Our experienced team will find the deceased animal, no matter where it's hidden, remove it safely, and treat the area with professional-grade sanitizers and deodorizers. We get your home back to smelling fresh and clean, fast.
When your home smells off and you're not sure why, it could be a decomposing animal hidden in the attic or walls. Critter Guardian specializes in tracking odors, locating the source when possible, and applying professional deodorization techniques.
We trace strong smells to locate any potential carcass. If the source isn't found, we still treat the affected areas to remove airborne bacteria and odor-causing compounds.
If located, the carcass is safely removed. We then sanitize the surrounding area with commercial-grade botanical products to eliminate harmful bacteria.
We use non-toxic fogging treatments designed to break down organic odor molecules, followed by activated charcoal bags or odor-absorbing blocks to finish the job.
Traditional pest control companies often rely on poison in homes and attics to manage rats and mice, but this approach creates even bigger problems. Poison does not fix the root issue of rodents finding entry points into your Dallas home or business.
At Critter Guardian, we focus on humane trapping and professional animal exclusion services in North Dallas. No toxins, no mystery smells, just lasting results.
The odor is from decomposition gases released by a deceased animal. It's often a rodent that has died in a wall, attic, or crawlspace after consuming bait or getting trapped.
Our technicians are experts at tracing odors to their source. We follow the scent, look for insect activity, and can use tools like thermal cameras to try to locate the carcass, even behind walls.
Yes. A carcass can harbor harmful bacteria and pathogens. It also attracts flies, maggots, and other pests, creating a secondary infestation and a health hazard.
Removing the source is ideal, but if it's not located, we treat the affected area with professional-grade enzymatic cleaners and deodorizers that break down odor-causing organic matter at the molecular level.
In rare cases, if we confirm the carcass is inaccessible and odor persists, a small opening may be necessary. We do everything we can to avoid damage and will discuss all options with you before proceeding.
The only permanent solution is full home exclusion. After removing the dead animal, we can inspect your home for entry points and seal them to prevent any future wildlife from getting inside.
Absolutely. We use hospital-grade, non-toxic sanitizers and deodorizers that are safe for use around your family and pets once the application is complete and the area has been ventilated.
If the animal is found and removed, the odor will begin dissipating immediately after treatment. If it cannot be located, our fogging and odor-absorbing methods can still dramatically reduce the smell within 24–48 hours.
