Only about 5% of homes in Chittenden County are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore. Summer highs in Burlington are milder, around 82 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas.

- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
- Plain-language notes on damage found, useful for landlords, buyers and insurers
- Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste

How Animal Hoarding Cleanup Works in Burlington, VT
2. Survey the damage
Floors, subfloors, walls and furniture are checked for soaked or contaminated materials. Pests and mold, if present, are noted.
3. Take out the source of odor
Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed so urine does not stay in the structure. Hard surfaces are scrubbed.
4. Treat odor and plan repairs
Odor treatment follows cleaning, and the team notes any floors, walls or fixtures that need a builder. Pest control is recommended where needed.

Questions Owners and Landlords in Burlington, VT 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 the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
How should I treat the person who kept the animals?
With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
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.
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.
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.
