Summer highs in Colorado City are milder, around 82 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas. Only about 7% of homes in Pueblo County are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore.
The work often covers:
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
- Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Colorado City, CO
What if pests such as fleas or rodents are in the home?
The crew works with added protection and removes the waste and debris pests feed on. Pest control is a separate trade, and the team can say when to schedule it, usually before or soon after cleaning.
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.
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.
Who pays for animal hoarding cleanup?
Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.
What is involved in cleaning a home after animal hoarding?
Crews bag waste and soiled bedding, remove soaked flooring and drywall, scrub and disinfect, and treat odor at the source. They wear protective suits and respiratory protection. A final inspection confirms that each room is ready for repairs.
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.
