Animal Waste Cleanup After Hoarding in Santa Rosa, NM

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 Santa Rosa house needs more than ordinary cleaning, call Santa Rosa Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get respiratory protection, approved disinfectants and the right methods to treat urine, feces and odor at the source, anywhere in Guadalupe County.

Most homes in Guadalupe County are owner-occupied, with about 25% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept. Rainfall in Santa Rosa averages only about 15 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.

What animal hoarding cleanup covers:

  • Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
  • Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
  • Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
  • A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
  • Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Santa Rosa, NM

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 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.

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 is the ammonia smell in the house?

It comes from animal urine breaking down. Ammonia irritates the eyes, throat and lungs, and it soaks into floors and walls. Opening windows helps only briefly, and the smell returns until the source is removed.

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.

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.
