Doesn a dead animal compost stink, and attract rodents and dogs?
If carcasses are properly covered with sawdust (one foot recommended), odors are sufficiently suppressed or absorbed so that they are not a problem in most cases. When operated properly, composters do not add to, or increase odor levels around a production facility. Using too little sawdust is the single greatest factor in excess odor and associated rodent problems. It is important to prevent a rodent problem when starting up a composter, because once rodents learn the composter is a source of carcasses, they can be difficult to stop.
