What Animal Hoarder Cleanup Means for a Shirley, NY Property

Cleaning up after animal hoarding means removing the source of odor, not covering it. Soaked carpet, padding, drywall and flooring are taken out, then the structure is cleaned and treated.

Summer highs in Shirley are milder, around 82 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas. Most homes in Shirley are owner-occupied, with about 8% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept.

What animal hoarding cleanup covers:

  • Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
  • Plain-language notes on damage found, useful for landlords, buyers and insurers
  • 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
