About 23% of homes in East Tawas are vacant, and a property that sat empty after animals were removed can hold waste and odor for a long time. Summer highs in East Tawas are milder, around 80 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas.

- Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
- Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in East Tawas, MI
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.
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.
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.
Why does carpet or flooring need to be removed?
Urine soaks through carpet and padding into the subfloor, where it keeps producing odor. Removing soaked materials takes out the source. Hard surfaces that can be cleaned are scrubbed and disinfected instead.
What does the owner need to do before calling?
Confirm that the animals are out, take photos if possible and note any deadline from a landlord, a city office or a sale. If you are the owner or caller, you do not need every detail before calling.
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.
