Crews bag waste and soiled bedding, remove soaked flooring and drywall, scrub and disinfect, and treat odor at the source. They wear protective suits and respiratory protection. A final inspection confirms that each room is ready for repairs.
Only if the area is small, the surface is hard and the air is easy to breathe, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, soaked floors, strong odor or pests call for a crew.
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
It is the cleaning of a home after too many animals were kept in it to be cared for well. Crews in protective gear remove waste and soiled materials, scrub, disinfect and treat odor. The animals are handled first by an agency such as animal control or a rescue group.
Animal hoarding means keeping more animals than a person can care for well, often without seeing that the animals are suffering. Hoarding is a recognized mental health condition, and it is not a character flaw. It needs both animal and human support.
Urine and feces release ammonia, which irritates the eyes and lungs. Waste can carry bacteria and parasites, and some diseases pass between animals and people. Fleas, ticks, rodents, dust and mold add to the problem. Anyone who feels unwell after time in the home should see a doctor.
No pressure and no judgment, just a clear conversation about the home.
