Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Elizabeth Lake, CA
Can I clean up after animal hoarding myself?
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.
What health risks come from animal waste in a home?
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.
What is the ammonia smell in the house?
It comes from animal urine breaking down. Ammonia irritates the eyes, throat and lungs, and it soaks into floors and walls. Opening windows helps only briefly, and the smell returns until the source is removed.
Does the resident need to be present?
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.
What happens to deceased animals found in the home?
They are handled with care and disposed of properly, as local rules require. The cleanup team can explain how this is done and which agency to contact if needed.
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
