Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Coral Gables, FL
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.
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 is animal hoarding cleanup?
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.
Is extreme cleaning the same as animal hoarding cleanup?
Not exactly. Extreme cleaning is a broad term for homes in very poor condition, while animal hoarding cleanup targets animal waste, odor and damage. The two can overlap, and a team can combine them in one plan.
Is it safe to enter a home after animal hoarding?
Not without protection. Ammonia, dust and germs can affect the eyes, lungs and skin. Crews wear protective suits, gloves, boots and respiratory protection, and they set up air control to protect clean areas.
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.
