How to Find Dead Animals in Your Home after a Flood

The flood waters were devastatingly powerful, ripping and wrenching at anything and everything. It’s amazing what has been washed where, as the waters recede the potent and invasive nature of the flooding was revealed. Unfortunately, most of what has been surged into homes is highly undesirable: sewerage, rubbish, and even dead animals.

One of the big concerns after a flood is always health and hygiene, so you need to clean your home thoroughly and remove any dead animals, but how do you make sure you have found all the dead animals?

The best thing is to start looking immediately and methodically. Start in the roof and work your way down through to the basement. Make sure that you have a powerful torch, a hammer, gloves and something to place any animals you find in. When you start looking you need to remember that the flood waters were so incredibly strong that the animal carcass could have been forced into extremely narrow or awkward gaps, so don’t assume anything, you need to be as thorough as you can be. Naturally, your nose will be one of your best tools, as the animal will have started to decay, giving off an unmistakably pungent odour.
