How to find and remove a dead raccoon in Austin TX? The average life of a raccoon lasts from 4 to 5 years in the wildlife. Now when a Texas raccoon finds a comfortable place within your house, chances are it might even end up dead there somewhere. The reason may vary. The female raccoon might die while giving birth. In some cases the causes of the death of a raccoon might be starvation if it does not find food where it chose to live, which is very rare.



When you are aware of the fact that a raccoon is residing in your house and all of a sudden it disappears then you might presume it to be dead. After an animal dies, it starts decaying and decomposing quickly especially in summers and so it leaves a very bad odor that is actually the key to find its dead body. The odor is very pungent and is so bad that it gets intolerable. The odor also depends on the size of the animal and the time assumed for it to be dead. The intensity of the raccoon will keep changing when you get close to it or get away from it. So the closer you get, the more the intense the smell of the carcass would be. If you ever find a dead raccoon lying in your house somewhere then beware! Do not attempt to pick it up with bare hands or on your own because it can turn out to cause you rabies or other serious infections caused by the carcass. It is advisable to contact the wildlife services or the pest control to provide their professional services and remove the dead raccoon in a safe manner. You should always be safe around the carcass and avoid any physical contact with it.
