Luna Park is on the drier side, with about 16 inches of rain a year, but drought can push animals toward buildings for shelter and water, and some do not make it out. Whatever the vacancy rate in San Jose, a property that has been closed for a while should be checked for dead animals before anyone moves back in.
The work often covers:
- Locating and removing dead rodents, squirrels, raccoons, opossums and birds from hidden spaces
- Follow-up odor checks and notes on repairs that other trades will need to make
- Cleanup of fluids and stains left on floors, walls, insulation and subfloors
- Sorting and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

Dead Animal Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Luna Park, San Jose, CA
Who pays for dead animal cleanup in a rental?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or property manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
How long does a dead animal smell last?
The smell can last a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the animal, the weather and where it died. It fades faster once the animal and soaked materials are removed and the area is treated.
What rules apply to dead animal removal in California?
Rules for removing and disposing of dead animals vary by city and county, and animal services handle public property in many places. Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials. Ask your city or county what applies where you are.
What if a pet died at home?
You do not have to handle it alone. A cleanup team can remove the body with care, clean bedding and floors, and disinfect the area. It is done privately and gently, so the family is spared the hardest part.
What should I do first if I smell something dead?
Open windows where it is safe, keep children and pets away, and try to note where the smell is strongest. Do not tear open walls. Call Luna Park Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
Do cleanup crews deal with live animals?
No. Wildlife and pest professionals deal with live animals and seal entry points. You get a cleanup team for carcasses, fluids, nests and odor, and the two services often work together on the same job.
