It is one thing for an animal to die, it is another thing entirely for the dead animal to be stuck inside a wall. As a result of the fact that tiny animals like rodents and reptiles live inside burrows and cavities inside walls, they often die inside. When that happens, the stench is often overwhelming for the residents of the home and the next thing to do is to remove the dead animal. The subsequent sections of this piece are going to focus on how this can be done.
Locating the Dead Animal
Since the dead animal is located deep inside the wall, the first step you need to take is to ensure you know exactly which part of the wall the dead animal is. Hence, you may need to do a quick sniffing around until you get to the precise location. You will be able to locate the exact location as the stench from the exact area will be really overwhelming.
Make a Hole Using A Saw
Once you are able to locate the area where the animal breathed its last, the next step is to get a saw and make a hole. It is advisable that you are as exact as possible while making the hole. It is better to make margins in the area with a pencil before proceeding with making the hole. Keep making the hole until it is big enough to accommodate the dead animal while giving you a good angle of vision too.
Removal and Disposal
Once the hole has been neatly made, the next thing for you is to remove the animal. You must not remove the carcass with your bare hands but with thick gloves. Once the dead animal has been removed, place it in a plastic bag and seal it up. There is a very high chance of maggots in the area so you have to disinfect. The removed carcass should then be buried and the wall should be fixed properly.
