Rainfall in Waihee-Waiehu averages only about 16 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out. About 23% of homes in Maui County are vacant, and a property that sat empty after animals were removed can hold waste and odor for a long time.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
- Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
- Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching

Questions Owners and Landlords in Waihee-Waiehu, HI Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup
What is animal hoarding?
Animal hoarding means keeping more animals than a person can care for well, often without seeing that the animals are suffering. Hoarding is a recognized mental health condition, and it is not a character flaw. It needs both animal and human support.
Does insurance cover animal hoarding cleanup?
Usually not. Policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions, though some cover sudden events such as a burst pipe. Read the policy or ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.
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.
What happens to deceased animals found in the home?
They are handled with care and disposed of properly, as local rules require. The cleanup team can explain how this is done and which agency to contact if needed.
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.
Is animal hoarding cleanup different from pet odor cleaning?
Yes. Pet odor cleaning is meant for a few accidents on a surface. Animal hoarding cleanup deals with widespread waste, soaked materials, ammonia, pests and structural odor, and it needs protective gear and removal work.
