Approved disinfectants are applied and left wet for the time on the label. The crew checks the air and surfaces in each room before leaving.

Can I clean up after animal hoarding myself?

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.
How should I treat the person who kept the animals?
