With a vacancy rate near 9% in San Bernardino County, many owners and lenders handle homes they have not lived in. A cleanup makes the property safe to inspect and list. Rainfall in Upland averages only about 12 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.
The work often covers:
- Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms

Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Upland, CA
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.
Is it safe to enter a home after animal hoarding?
Not without protection. Ammonia, dust and germs can affect the eyes, lungs and skin. Crews wear protective suits, gloves, boots and respiratory protection, and they set up air control to protect clean areas.
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.
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.
How much does animal hoarding cleanup cost?
It varies widely. The size of the home, the amount of waste, soaked flooring, odor depth and pests all change the price. The cleanup team gives a real price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.
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.
