Urine, Feces and Odor Cleanup for Roswell, Colorado Springs, CO Animal Hoarding Cases
Animal waste cleanup after hoarding includes hauling bagged waste, bedding and ruined items, sanitizing the affected area and addressing fleas, flies and rodents that moved in.
If animal hoarding has damaged your house, apartment or rental in Roswell or anywhere in El Paso County, you can get cleanup from Roswell Biohazard Cleanup Help. The cleanup team works for owners, landlords, relatives and caregivers, once the animals are safely out of the home.
Only about 4% of homes in Colorado Springs are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore. Rainfall in Roswell averages only about 16 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.
The work often covers:
- Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
- Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed
- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates
- A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Roswell, Colorado Springs, CO
What is the ammonia smell in the house?
It comes from animal urine breaking down. Ammonia irritates the eyes, throat and lungs, and it soaks into floors and walls. Opening windows helps only briefly, and the smell returns until the source is removed.
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.
Why does carpet or flooring need to be removed?
Urine soaks through carpet and padding into the subfloor, where it keeps producing odor. Removing soaked materials takes out the source. Hard surfaces that can be cleaned are scrubbed and disinfected instead.
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.
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.
Is it safe to enter a home after animal hoarding?
Not without protection. Ammonia, dust and germs can affect the eyes, lungs and skin. Crews wear protective suits, gloves, boots and respiratory protection, and they set up air control to protect clean areas.
