Most homes in Kewaunee County are owner-occupied, with about 14% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept. Summer highs in Kewaunee are milder, around 76 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas.

2. Protect what matters
Papers, photos, medicine and valuables are gathered and kept apart from contaminated areas. The owner can name anything that must be saved.
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. Odor control and final inspection
Odor is treated where it started, and each room is inspected. The owner receives notes about remaining damage or follow-up work.

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Kewaunee, WI
What health risks come from animal waste in a home?
Urine and feces release ammonia, which irritates the eyes and lungs. Waste can carry bacteria and parasites, and some diseases pass between animals and people. Fleas, ticks, rodents, dust and mold add to the problem. Anyone who feels unwell after time in the home should see a doctor.
Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
Will repairs be needed after cleanup?
Sometimes. Flooring, drywall, baseboards and paint may need replacing once soaked and chewed materials are removed. The team notes what it finds so a builder can plan the repairs.
Who removes the animals, and who cleans afterward?
Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group usually cares for the animals. A cleanup team takes care of the home afterward. Ask the agency when the home is clear, then call a team to plan the work.
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.
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.
