Summer highs in Palmer Lake are milder, around 82 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas. Only about 4% of homes in El Paso 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:
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Palmer Lake, CO
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.
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.
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.
Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
How much does animal hoarding cleanup cost?
It varies widely. The size of the home, the amount of waste, soaked flooring, odor depth and pests all change the price. The cleanup team gives a real price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.
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.
