Cleaning a Home After Animals Are Removed in Elliot Park, Minneapolis, MN

Animal hoarder cleanup combines waste removal, demolition of soaked materials, scrubbing, disinfecting and odor treatment. The aim is a home that people can enter and use again.

Summer highs in Elliot Park are milder, around 83 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas. Only about 8% of homes in Minneapolis are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore.

The work often covers:

  • Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
  • Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
  • Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
  • Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
  • Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind

2. Assess the home

The team walks the property to see which rooms are affected, how much waste there is and which materials are soaked. This sets the plan and the price range.

3. Clean from the source

Waste and ruined materials are removed first, so cleaning and disinfecting reach the structure. Items worth saving are cleaned separately.

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.
