All wild animals are possible carriers of several\ninfectious diseases, illnesses, bacteria, and parasites, all of which can be\ntransmitted to both people and pets. Some illnesses are fatal, such as the\nRabies virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you find a dead animal on or around your property, here\nis what you need to do:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to take is to secure young children and pets\naway from the area. If the animal is outdoors, move all children and pets\nindoors, and be sure the area with the animal is not accessible to the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the sight is offensive to anyone, cover the carcass with\na large towel, sheet, or tarp, being very careful not to come close or touch it\nat all. Be sure to toss this cover into the trash after the carcass has been\ncollected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you need to assess the situation. Do this by first\nidentifying the species. If you have a wild animal, like a raccoon or bat, you\nwould need to take a different route than if you had a dead cat, dog, goose, or\nduck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a deceased cat, dog, or waterfowl species on\nyour property, you will need to contact your local animal control company. You\ncan find this contact information online at your county\u2019s official webpage, or\nby calling the local police station for a direct referral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a deceased wild animal on your property, you would need to contact a local and licensed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildliferemovalindianapolis.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Indianapolis Wildlife Control Company (opens in a new tab)\">Indianapolis Wildlife Control Company<\/a> for prompt dead animal removal services.
