What's included

What Does Dead Squirrel Removal Include in Michigan?

Squirrel calls are usually indoor — attic, soffit, walls. The carcass is often near where the squirrel originally got in, so removal includes flagging the entry point to seal.

All field work performed by Michigan DNR-permitted licensed wildlife operators carrying general liability insurance ≥$1M, following MDARD solid-waste handling rules (the MDARD Bodies of Dead Animals (BODA) Act).

How it works

The Dead Squirrel Removal Process

Squirrel calls are usually indoor — attic, soffit, walls. The carcass is often near where the squirrel originally got in, so removal includes flagging the entry point to seal.

  1. Phone quote in minutes — location indoor vs outdoor, accessibility (soffit cut? wall cut? attic access?)
  2. Dispatch within four hours
  3. Recovery — attic recoveries can require partial drywall or soffit access; wall recoveries may require small access cut + repair
  4. Sanitize with enzymatic treatment to neutralize urine + grease trail (prevents new squirrels following scent)
  5. Entry-point assessment + flag for permanent exclusion (referred separately, not included in standard call)
  6. Drywall / soffit patch coordination if access cut was required
  7. Invoice on completion
Cost in Michigan

How Much Does Dead Squirrel Removal Cost?

Dead Squirrel Removal in Michigan typically runs $125–$300 flat rate. Outdoor recoveries (yard, driveway, road frontage) are at the low end of the range; indoor recoveries (attic, walls, crawlspace) are at the high end because they require access cuts, sanitize work, and entry-point assessment.

Quote is given on the initial phone call — no per-hour billing, no trip fees, no hidden add-ons. Payment in person (cash/card/check) or remote link after completion.

When to call

When Should You Call Us?

As soon as you notice the carcass — or the smell. Decomposition begins within 24 hours in warm weather, and the smell roughly doubles every 24 hours after that. Earlier removal = less odor remediation needed = lower cost.

Who picks up dead animals in Michigan?
In Michigan, dead animal pickup splits by location. Carcasses in the public right-of-way (city streets, sidewalks) are handled by city public works departments. State routes and interstates are handled by the Michigan Department of Transportation. Carcasses on private property — your yard, attic, driveway, crawlspace — are the homeowner's responsibility. Michigan Dead Animal Removal connects you with a licensed wildlife operator who can be on-site within 4 hours, often same-day.
How much does dead animal removal cost in Michigan?
Most Michigan residential outdoor recoveries (yard, driveway) cost $75-$185. Indoor recoveries (attic, walls, crawlspace) cost $200-$600 because they involve access cuts, sanitize work, and entry-point assessment. Dead deer removal runs $200-$400 due to the weight and equipment required. Pricing is quoted on the initial phone call — no per-hour surprises, no hidden fees.
How fast can you remove a dead animal from my property?
Most Michigan metros we serve get on-site response within 4 hours of the phone quote. Same-day pickup is the default for outdoor calls (yard, driveway, road frontage). Indoor recoveries (attic, walls) may need a next-business-day appointment if access tools are required. Rabies-vector species (raccoon, skunk, bat, fox) and rut-season deer get priority dispatch.
What animals do you handle?
Same-day pickup for the seven most-called Michigan wildlife species: raccoon, white-tailed deer, squirrel, opossum, skunk, bird, and domestic cat. We also handle larger or less-common calls (groundhog, fox, coyote, beaver) on a case-by-case basis — call to confirm. Rabies-vector species are handled with PPE per MDHHS guidance.
