How to Find the Dead Animal

This is a common question that Illinois wildlife experts often encounter. Most of the time (especially for those who use poison), they will be in the inaccessible areas of our home which make it difficult for us to find them. Fortunately, there are some signs that will help you determine their location.

The unpleasant lingering odor- If the scent that permeates all over your house is too unbearable, then it is highly likely that you have a dead raccoon in your house. 

Increased amount of ants and flies- the dead body of the Illinois raccoon will also invite unwanted guests in your house such as flies and ants. By simply following the trail of the ants or flies, you can possibly locate the dead body of the raccoon.

Stain on your Naperville wall or ceiling- On the off chance that you have an unexplained stain on your ceiling or walls, then this will probably be a dead animal trapped above the ceiling or in the void of our walls. Call the help of the wildlife expert to determine the root cause of your unusual stain.

How to Remove the Dead Raccoon

After identifying the location of the Illinois dead raccoon, you will have to remove them to get rid of the possible health threat. Your pets and children should never be allowed to go near the dead body of the raccoon during the entire removal process. 

Start by wearing protective gears. Remember that the dead body of the raccoon may contain microorganism that will be carried by the air once it is disturbed. Once you accidentally inhaled them, this can lead to health risks that may sometimes be threatening.  

Do not physically touch the Illinois dead body, you should use a shovel to pick up the dead body and place it inside the garbage bag. The average weight of the raccoon is around 20lbs. You should be prepared to lift that weight.

When putting it inside the trash bag, it would be ideal if you have another person to open the bag. Put the bag inside the cardboard box and seal it. You may then place it outside and wait for the garbage collector to pick it up. You may also take it to the landfill.

In case disposing the dead body of the Naperville raccoon seems to be a challenging task for you, you can call the pros and allow them to deal with your problem.
