About 64% of households in Los Angeles rent, so landlords and property managers often call for animal hoarding cleanup before the next tenant moves in. Rainfall in Del Rey averages only about 14 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.
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
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Del Rey, Los Angeles, CA
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.
What happens to deceased animals found in the home?
They are handled with care and disposed of properly, as local rules require. The cleanup team can explain how this is done and which agency to contact if needed.
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.
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.
Who pays for animal hoarding cleanup?
Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.
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.
