What Animal Hoarder Cleanup Means for a Syracuse, UT Property
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.

Most homes in Davis County are owner-occupied, with about 23% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept. Rainfall in Syracuse averages only about 16 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:
- Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal

Questions Owners and Landlords in Syracuse, UT Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
