  • Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
  • Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
  • Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew

The Animal Hoarding Clean Up Process in Encinitas, CA, Step by Step

1. Walk through for hazards

The crew looks for waste, soaked materials, pests and structural damage. Findings are shared in plain words.

2. Contain the area

Affected rooms are separated from clean ones, and hauling paths are planned. This keeps odor and dust from spreading.

3. Clean from the source

Waste and ruined materials are removed first, so cleaning and disinfecting reach the structure. Items worth saving are cleaned separately.

4. Sanitize and check

Approved disinfectants are applied and left wet for the time on the label. The crew checks the air and surfaces in each room before leaving.
