Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Stevensville, MT: Waste, Odor and Damage Removed

Animal hoarding cleanup covers floors, subfloors, walls, furniture, crates and air. Urine soaks deep into porous materials, so surface cleaning alone rarely removes the problem.

When animal control or a rescue group has cleared the home, families and property owners in Stevensville and Ravalli County can call Stevensville Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get a crew in protective gear to remove animal waste, soaked materials and odor.

About 40% of households in Stevensville rent, so landlords and property managers often call for animal hoarding cleanup before the next tenant moves in. Rainfall in Stevensville averages only about 12 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.

The work often covers:

  • Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
  • Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
  • Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed
  • Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates
  • Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
