An animal hoarding cleanup service works on the home, not the animals. Agencies such as animal control, a humane society or a rescue group care for the animals first, and the cleanup follows.

Only about 4% of homes in Arvada are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore. Rainfall in Arvada averages only about 19 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Arvada, CO
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.
Is animal hoarding cleanup different from pet odor cleaning?
Yes. Pet odor cleaning is meant for a few accidents on a surface. Animal hoarding cleanup deals with widespread waste, soaked materials, ammonia, pests and structural odor, and it needs protective gear and removal work.
Do the animals have to be gone before cleanup starts?
Yes. Cleanup does not begin while animals are still in the home. Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group should clear the property first, and the cleanup team can then plan its work.
Will repairs be needed after cleanup?
Sometimes. Flooring, drywall, baseboards and paint may need replacing once soaked and chewed materials are removed. The team notes what it finds so a builder can plan the repairs.
How should I treat the person who kept the animals?
With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
