Urine, Feces and Odor Cleanup for Wilkes-Barre, PA Animal Hoarding Cases
An animal hoarding cleanup service works on the home, not the animals. Agencies such as animal control, a humane society or a rescue group care for the animals first, and the cleanup follows.
If your Wilkes-Barre house needs more than ordinary cleaning, call Wilkes-Barre Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get respiratory protection, approved disinfectants and the right methods to treat urine, feces and odor at the source, anywhere in Luzerne County.
With roughly 49% of homes in Wilkes-Barre rented, animal waste cleanup is often driven by a lease, an inspection or a deposit dispute. The team can note conditions for the owner's records. Summer highs in Wilkes-Barre are milder, around 85 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas.
What animal hoarding cleanup covers:
- Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
- Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
- A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
How Animal Hoarding Cleanup Works in Wilkes-Barre, PA
2. Contain the area
Affected rooms are separated from clean ones, and hauling paths are planned. This keeps odor and dust from spreading.
3. Remove and clean in order
Heavy waste and debris go first, then ruined materials, then scrubbing and disinfecting. The work moves from the worst rooms outward.
4. Treat odor and plan repairs
Odor treatment follows cleaning, and the team notes any floors, walls or fixtures that need a builder. Pest control is recommended where needed.

Questions Owners and Landlords in Wilkes-Barre, PA Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup
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.
What if pests such as fleas or rodents are in the home?
The crew works with added protection and removes the waste and debris pests feed on. Pest control is a separate trade, and the team can say when to schedule it, usually before or soon after cleaning.
How much does animal hoarding cleanup cost?

Not without protection. Ammonia, dust and germs can affect the eyes, lungs and skin. Crews wear protective suits, gloves, boots and respiratory protection, and they set up air control to protect clean areas.
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.
Will repairs be needed after cleanup?
Sometimes. Flooring, drywall, baseboards and paint may need replacing once soaked and chewed materials are removed. The team notes what it finds so a builder can plan the repairs.
