Cleaning a Home After Animals Are Removed in Mercerville, NJ
Animal hoarding clean up is a biohazard-style job: ammonia, bacteria, parasites and dust are all present. Crews use protective suits, respiratory protection and EPA-registered disinfectants.
When animal control or a rescue group has cleared the home, families and property owners in Mercerville and Mercer County can call Mercerville Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get a crew in protective gear to remove animal waste, soaked materials and odor.
Most homes in Mercerville are owner-occupied, with about 15% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept. Mercerville sees about 48 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
- 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

What health risks come from animal waste in a home?
Urine and feces release ammonia, which irritates the eyes and lungs. Waste can carry bacteria and parasites, and some diseases pass between animals and people. Fleas, ticks, rodents, dust and mold add to the problem. Anyone who feels unwell after time in the home should see a doctor.
