Bells sees about 46 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor. About 11% of homes in Grayson County are vacant, and a property that sat empty after animals were removed can hold waste and odor for a long time.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
Protective equipment is put on, and the crew plans for ammonia, dust, pests and sharp objects. Utilities and exits are checked.
Papers, photos, medicine and valuables are gathered and kept apart from contaminated areas. The owner can name anything that must be saved.
Waste, bedding, crates and ruined items are bagged and sealed. Anything that may carry germs is handled with extra care.
Floors, walls and fixtures are cleaned and treated. The team walks the home and explains what may need repair or pest control.
