Once you’ve located the squirrel, you need to prepare to remove it. Remember, the body will be dangerous to your health, so you need to be careful. Gloves are a must, as well as a mask to avoid breathing in any pathogens. You’ll also want to wear protective eyewear as you do this.

If the squirrel is in the walls, you’ll need to cut a hole in order to remove it. Once you can access the body, carefully pick it up and seal it into a plastic bag for disposal. Next, you’ll need to clean the area where they died. If they died on any soft furnishings, these will need to be disposed of. Wipe the area down with paper towels, and then scrub it down with bleach and disposable paper towels. You may also need bug spray if there are any insects present, and an odour remover to remove the smell.

Now if a squirrel dies on your property, you’re ready to deal with it. You can usually locate the body by the smell, and once you do you can dispose of it carefully. Clean the area with bleach and you’re done.
