With a vacancy rate near 18% in Murray County, many owners and lenders handle homes they have not lived in. A cleanup makes the property safe to inspect and list. Summer highs in Slayton are milder, around 81 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas.

- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates
- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Slayton, MN
What does the owner need to do before calling?
Confirm that the animals are out, take photos if possible and note any deadline from a landlord, a city office or a sale. If you are the owner or caller, you do not need every detail before calling.
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.
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.
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
Is animal hoarding cleanup different from pet odor cleaning?
Yes. Pet odor cleaning is meant for a few accidents on a surface. Animal hoarding cleanup deals with widespread waste, soaked materials, ammonia, pests and structural odor, and it needs protective gear and removal work.
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.
