Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Old West Austin, Austin, TX
How should I treat the person who kept the animals?
With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
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.
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.
Can the odor be fully removed?
Often yes, when the source is treated. Urine that soaked into subfloors and walls has to be removed or sealed, and covering the smell with fragrance does not last. The team can say what is likely once it has seen the home.
What rules apply to waste disposal in Texas?
Worker safety falls under federal rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Local code offices decide when a home is safe to occupy.
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.
