Summer highs in Bethany are milder, around 83 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas. Only about 10% of homes in Brooke County are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
- 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
- A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
- Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Bethany, WV
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is extreme cleaning the same as animal hoarding cleanup?
Not exactly. Extreme cleaning is a broad term for homes in very poor condition, while animal hoarding cleanup targets animal waste, odor and damage. The two can overlap, and a team can combine them in one plan.
