Summer highs in Bally are milder, around 84 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas.

What animal hoarding cleanup covers:
The team learns who owns the home, which agency handled the animals and whether there is a deadline from a landlord or the city.
Affected rooms are separated from clean ones, and hauling paths are planned. This keeps odor and dust from spreading.
Waste and ruined materials are removed first, so cleaning and disinfecting reach the structure. Items worth saving are cleaned separately.
Odor treatment follows cleaning, and the team notes any floors, walls or fixtures that need a builder. Pest control is recommended where needed.
