Cleaning a Home After Animals Are Removed in Westside, Colorado Springs, CO

Animal hoarding cleanup is the removal of animal waste, soiled materials and odor from a home after too many animals were kept in it to be cared for well. It is also called animal hoarding clean up or animal hoarder cleanup.

With roughly 39% of homes in Colorado Springs rented, animal waste cleanup is often driven by a lease, an inspection or a deposit dispute. The team can note conditions for the owner's records.

  • Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
  • Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home

Questions Owners and Landlords in Westside, Colorado Springs, CO Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup

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 if pests such as fleas or rodents are in the home?

The crew works with added protection and removes the waste and debris pests feed on. Pest control is a separate trade, and the team can say when to schedule it, usually before or soon after cleaning.

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 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.

What does the owner need to do before calling?

Confirm that the animals are out, take photos if possible and note any deadline from a landlord, a city office or a sale. If you are the owner or caller, you do not need every detail before calling.

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.
