Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Candler-McAfee, GA

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.

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.

Is animal hoarding cleanup different from pet odor cleaning?

Yes. Pet odor cleaning is meant for a few accidents on a surface. Animal hoarding cleanup deals with widespread waste, soaked materials, ammonia, pests and structural odor, and it needs protective gear and removal work.

What does the owner need to do before calling?

Confirm that the animals are out, take photos if possible and note any deadline from a landlord, a city office or a sale. If you are the owner or caller, you do not need every detail before calling.

What happens to deceased animals found in the home?

They are handled with care and disposed of properly, as local rules require. The cleanup team can explain how this is done and which agency to contact if needed.

Can a landlord require animal hoarding cleanup?

Often yes. A lease and local housing rules usually let a landlord require a safe, sanitary unit. A tenant rights group or an attorney can explain what applies. A cleanup team can often work toward a deadline.
