Summer highs in Lewiston are milder, around 83 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas. Only about 8% of homes in Niagara County are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
- Plain-language notes on damage found, useful for landlords, buyers and insurers
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
- Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time

Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Lewiston, NY
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.
Can the odor be fully removed?
Often yes, when the source is treated. Urine that soaked into subfloors and walls has to be removed or sealed, and covering the smell with fragrance does not last. The team can say what is likely once it has seen the home.
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
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 is the ammonia smell in the house?
It comes from animal urine breaking down. Ammonia irritates the eyes, throat and lungs, and it soaks into floors and walls. Opening windows helps only briefly, and the smell returns until the source is removed.
