Summer highs in Piñon Hills are milder, around 83 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas. About 9% of homes in San Bernardino County are vacant, and a property that sat empty after animals were removed can hold waste and odor for a long time.
The work often covers:
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
- Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
- Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family

Affected rooms are separated from clean ones, and hauling paths are planned. This keeps odor and dust from spreading.

Questions Owners and Landlords in Piñon Hills, CA Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup
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.
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.
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 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.
What is animal hoarding cleanup?
It is the cleaning of a home after too many animals were kept in it to be cared for well. Crews in protective gear remove waste and soiled materials, scrub, disinfect and treat odor. The animals are handled first by an agency such as animal control or a rescue group.
