Dead Animal Removal in Metro Atlanta & North Georgia
A dead animal in a wall, attic, crawl space, or yard is more than an unpleasant smell. It draws flies, can stain ceilings and drywall, and creates a genuine sanitation problem. The hardest part is usually finding it, especially when it's decomposing deep inside the structure of your home.
Forsyth Exterminating locates the source, removes the carcass, sanitizes and deodorizes the area, and then finds and seals the entry point the animal used, so the next one can't get in. From a mouse inside a wall to a deer in the yard, we handle it.
Signs of a Dead Animal in Your Home
- A foul odor that worsens over several days
- Flies or maggots clustering in one spot
- Stains on a ceiling, wall, or floor
- Pets fixated on one area, or buzzing in a wall
How We Solve It
Locate the source
We pinpoint the carcass, even inside walls, attics, and crawl spaces where the smell hides.
Full removal
We remove the animal safely and completely, from a mouse to a deer.
Sanitize & deodorize
We treat the area to eliminate bacteria, staining, and lingering odor.
Seal the entry point
We find and close the gap the animal used, so wildlife can't get back in.
Stop It From Happening Again
- Seal foundation gaps, vents, and utility lines
- Cap chimneys and screen attic and gable vents
- Keep rodents controlled — they often die inside walls
- Trim branches that give animals roof access

Dead Animal Removal FAQs
There's a bad smell but I can't find the source. Can you help?
Yes. We locate dead animals inside walls, attics, crawl spaces, and ductwork, then remove and sanitize the area. Finding the source is the hard part, and it's what we do.
Do you remove large animals like a dead deer?
Yes. We handle everything from a mouse inside a wall to a deer in the yard, including hard-to-reach spots.
Will the smell go away on its own?
Eventually, but the odor and flies can last for weeks as the animal decomposes. Removal plus sanitizing solves it quickly and safely.
Get rid of that smell for good.
Fast location, removal, and odor treatment. Same-day service usually available. Backed by the Forsyth Promise.
