Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Palmetto Park, St. Petersburg, FL
Why does carpet or flooring need to be removed?
Urine soaks through carpet and padding into the subfloor, where it keeps producing odor. Removing soaked materials takes out the source. Hard surfaces that can be cleaned are scrubbed and disinfected instead.
What is animal hoarding?
Animal hoarding means keeping more animals than a person can care for well, often without seeing that the animals are suffering. Hoarding is a recognized mental health condition, and it is not a character flaw. It needs both animal and human support.
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.
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.
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.
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.
