About 45% of homes in Lauderdale Lakes are vacant, and a property that sat empty after animals were removed can hold waste and odor for a long time. Summer highs in Lauderdale Lakes are milder, around 82 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas.

- Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed
- Plain-language notes on damage found, useful for landlords, buyers and insurers
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates
How Animal Hoarding Cleanup Works in Lauderdale Lakes, WI
2. Survey the damage
Floors, subfloors, walls and furniture are checked for soaked or contaminated materials. Pests and mold, if present, are noted.
3. Take out the source of odor
Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed so urine does not stay in the structure. Hard surfaces are scrubbed.
4. Sanitize and check
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.

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Lauderdale Lakes, WI
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.
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.
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.
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.
How long does animal hoarding cleanup take?
A single room is often finished in a day, while a full house can take several days. Size, waste, soaked materials and odor change the timeline. Pest control and repairs come after the cleaning.
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.
