Rainfall in Bakersfield averages only about 7 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.

The work often covers:

  • Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
  • Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
  • 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
  • Plain-language notes on damage found, useful for landlords, buyers and insurers

Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Bakersfield, CA

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.

Is animal hoarding cleanup different from pet odor cleaning?

Yes. Pet odor cleaning is meant for a few accidents on a surface. Animal hoarding cleanup deals with widespread waste, soaked materials, ammonia, pests and structural odor, and it needs protective gear and removal 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.

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.

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.

Does insurance cover animal hoarding cleanup?

Usually not. Policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions, though some cover sudden events such as a burst pipe. Read the policy or ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.
