Alamance sees about 43 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor. Only about 9% of homes in Alamance County are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore.
The work often covers:
- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
- Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates

Crews bag waste and soiled bedding, remove soaked flooring and drywall, scrub and disinfect, and treat odor at the source. They wear protective suits and respiratory protection. A final inspection confirms that each room is ready for repairs.
Can I clean up after animal hoarding myself?
