Cleaning a Home After Animals Are Removed in Florence, CO
Animal hoarding clean up is a biohazard-style job: ammonia, bacteria, parasites and dust are all present. Crews use protective suits, respiratory protection and EPA-registered disinfectants.
If your Florence house needs more than ordinary cleaning, call Florence Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get respiratory protection, approved disinfectants and the right methods to treat urine, feces and odor at the source, anywhere in Fremont County.
With a vacancy rate near 13% in Fremont County, many owners and lenders handle homes they have not lived in. A cleanup makes the property safe to inspect and list. Rainfall in Florence averages only about 14 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
- Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Florence, CO
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can I clean up after animal hoarding myself?
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.
