Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Cos Cob, CT

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.

Can the odor be fully removed?

Often yes, when the source is treated. Urine that soaked into subfloors and walls has to be removed or sealed, and covering the smell with fragrance does not last. The team can say what is likely once it has seen the home.

What if pests such as fleas or rodents are in the home?

The crew works with added protection and removes the waste and debris pests feed on. Pest control is a separate trade, and the team can say when to schedule it, usually before or soon after cleaning.

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.

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.

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.
