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.

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.

What is animal hoarding?
