2. Protect what matters
Papers, photos, medicine and valuables are gathered and kept apart from contaminated areas. The owner can name anything that must be saved.
3. Take out the source of odor
Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed so urine does not stay in the structure. Hard surfaces are scrubbed.

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Montoursville, PA
Who removes the animals, and who cleans afterward?
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.
What is involved in cleaning a home after animal hoarding?
Crews bag waste and soiled bedding, remove soaked flooring and drywall, scrub and disinfect, and treat odor at the source. They wear protective suits and respiratory protection. A final inspection confirms that each room is ready for repairs.
Is extreme cleaning the same as animal hoarding cleanup?
Not exactly. Extreme cleaning is a broad term for homes in very poor condition, while animal hoarding cleanup targets animal waste, odor and damage. The two can overlap, and a team can combine them in one plan.
Who pays for animal hoarding cleanup?
Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
Does insurance cover animal hoarding cleanup?
Usually not. Policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions, though some cover sudden events such as a burst pipe. Read the policy or ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.
