Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Bay Minette, AL
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
