Urine, Feces and Odor Cleanup for River Hills, WI Animal Hoarding Cases
After animals are removed by animal control or a rescue group, the home still holds urine, feces and damage. Animal waste cleanup restores it to a safe, sanitary state.
When animal control or a rescue group has cleared the home, families and property owners in River Hills and Milwaukee County can call River Hills Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get a crew in protective gear to remove animal waste, soaked materials and odor.
With roughly 50% of homes in Milwaukee County 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.

Questions Owners and Landlords in River Hills, WI Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup
Do the animals have to be gone before cleanup starts?
Yes. Cleanup does not begin while animals are still in the home. Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group should clear the property first, and the cleanup team can then plan its work.
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.
Can I clean up after animal hoarding myself?
Only if the area is small, the surface is hard and the air is easy to breathe, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, soaked floors, strong odor or pests call for a crew.
Who removes the animals, and who cleans afterward?
Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group usually cares for the animals. A cleanup team takes care of the home afterward. Ask the agency when the home is clear, then call a team to plan the work.
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.
What is involved in cleaning a home after animal hoarding?
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.
