What Happens During Animal Waste Cleanup in St. Bonaventure, NY

1. Confirm the animals are gone

Cleanup begins once animal control, a humane society or a rescue group has removed the animals. The crew works only in a home that is clear of animals.

2. Gross removal

Visible waste, spoiled food, bowls, cages and debris are hauled out in bags or bins. Items that cannot be cleaned are discarded.

3. Clean from the source

Waste and ruined materials are removed first, so cleaning and disinfecting reach the structure. Items worth saving are cleaned separately.

4. Finish and follow up

A last pass confirms the home is clean and ready for the next step. The team shares what to expect for repairs, pest control and odor.
