About 16% of homes in Caswell County are vacant, and a property that sat empty after animals were removed can hold waste and odor for a long time. Yanceyville sees about 48 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
Protective equipment is put on, and the crew plans for ammonia, dust, pests and sharp objects. Utilities and exits are checked.
Papers, photos, medicine and valuables are gathered and kept apart from contaminated areas. The owner can name anything that must be saved.
Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed so urine does not stay in the structure. Hard surfaces are scrubbed.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group usually cares for the animals. A cleanup team takes care of the home afterward. Ask the agency when the home is clear, then call a team to plan the work.
Tell the team whether the animals are out and it explains how animal hoarding cleanup usually works.
