But most people will recognize something bad is going on with one sniff of the disgusting and puke-worthy smell of a dead animal carcass. The first step to regaining fresh air is finding and removing the dead animal carcass. Regardless of whether it’s a decomposing rodent or larger animal like a raccoon, the dead animal smell will fill the air with a lingering odor of putridness.

There’s one sure sign an animal decided to select your home or yard to die - the bad smell.
