Questions Owners and Landlords in Hurley, MS Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup
Is it safe to enter a home after animal hoarding?
Not without protection. Ammonia, dust and germs can affect the eyes, lungs and skin. Crews wear protective suits, gloves, boots and respiratory protection, and they set up air control to protect clean areas.
Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
