A Marketing & Lead-Routing Layer for Minnesota's Wildlife Removal Industry
That's the short version.
The longer version: Minnesota has dozens of licensed wildlife operators (most holding a the authorisations Minnesota requires) — but most are small 1–3 person operations that don't run digital marketing. When a Minnesota homeowner finds a dead raccoon under the deck, a deer in the driveway, or notices that distinct decomposition smell coming from the attic, they need a phone number that answers, dispatches today, and charges a flat rate.
Minnesota Dead Animal Removal bridges that gap. We build content that helps Minnesota homeowners understand what to do when they find a dead animal, what disposal options exist, and what a fair quote looks like. When a homeowner is ready to schedule pickup, we route their request to a licensed wildlife operator serving their metro.
Critical clarification: We are an advertising intermediary. We do not perform carcass recovery, transport, or disposal — all field work is performed by independent licensed wildlife operators who hold an active Minnesota DNR permit, general liability insurance ≥$1M, and comply with Minn. Stat. § 35.82 and county solid-waste district requirements and MDH rabies-vector species protocols (MDH rabies-vector guidance).
Three Types of Calls We Handle Most
Homeowners (outdoor)
Dead raccoon in the yard. Skunk under the porch. Squirrel on the driveway. Deer at the property line. Most-frequent call type — same-day pickup, $300–$400 flat rate.
Homeowners (indoor)
Dead animal smell in the house. Squirrel or raccoon in the attic. Bird stuck in the chimney. Carcass in walls or crawlspace. Higher complexity — access cuts, enzymatic sanitize, entry-point flag. $300–$500.
Property managers + HOAs
Apartment buildings, condo associations, commercial properties. Recurring or on-call service. Volume pricing available for property managers with multi-property contracts.
What Every Partner Operator Brings
We verify these credentials before any operator joins our routing network. Re-verified annually.
- No state operator licence exists in Minnesota — under Minn. Stat. § 97B.655 a landowner or the landowner's agent may take nuisance animals without a licence. What we verify instead is insurance and the special permits that do apply, for businesses that trap or handle nuisance wildlife (Minnesota Statutes Chapter 97A-97B). Most operators carry this for full-service capability beyond dead-animal-only work.
- General liability insurance ≥$1M — protects homeowners during indoor recoveries that require access cuts.
- county solid-waste district requirements — proper handling and disposal of putrescible waste per state environmental rules.
- MDH rabies-vector protocols (MDH rabies-vector guidance) — PPE handling for raccoon, skunk, bat, fox, coyote.
- Vehicle + equipment compliance — sealed-bin transport, winch + tarp for large animal recovery, ladder + scope for indoor recovery, enzymatic odor neutralizers.
