4. Sanitize and check
Approved disinfectants are applied and left wet for the time on the label. The crew checks the air and surfaces in each room before leaving.

Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Haverford College, PA
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
