Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Staunton, VA
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.
What if pests such as fleas or rodents are in the home?
