(Dead) Wildlife removal
I’ve had a dead raccoon in my tree for a few weeks now. I’ve been smelling something, but I wasn’t able to find it until yesterday.
I called the city and they told me they could pick it up. If it was on the curb. I asked how do I get it to the curb because I don’t know if it has rabies and they told me I don’t know ask a family member. They then gave me the number to what I thought was animal control, but was actually the animal shelter. The animal shelter gave me the number to animal control. Animal control said that they don’t handle that to call wildlife. Wildlife said they don’t remove live or dead animals that I should call pest control. Pest control won’t service me because I don’t own the home. I rent it.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle a possibly rapid dead animal? Please keep in mind I rent, I don’t have a shovel and it’s in a tight space. Just seeing and smelling it yesterday had me doubled over in my front yard vomiting, so I would rather not do it myself. If there is a company, you know of, please let me know.
