An animal hoarding cleanup service works on the home, not the animals. Agencies such as animal control, a humane society or a rescue group care for the animals first, and the cleanup follows.
Your animal hoarding cleanup in Campo stays private when you call Campo Biohazard Cleanup Help. The crew works discreetly, speaks respectfully and sets aside personal papers and keepsakes for the owner or family across San Diego County.
Only about 6% of homes in San Diego County are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore. Rainfall in Campo averages only about 16 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.

- Plain-language notes on damage found, useful for landlords, buyers and insurers
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
