Animal Hoarding Cleanup

Palmetto Commercial Services specializes in animal hoarding cleanup, specifically dog and cat hoarding. We have also completed many other animal hoarding jobs, such as mice, rats, hamsters, birds, opossums, raccoons, There are many levels to hoarding cleanup and we give free, onsite estimates and offer advice on how to get started.

We offer animal hoarding cleanup throughout the states of South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina.

We are licensed, bonded, and insured and each of our employees have passed federal, state, and local background checks and reference checks to ensure we have the most trustworthy team.

Whether you are looking to only have trash and debris removed from the house or property, or you are looking to have full service organization, trashout, and maid-service cleaning, we can accommodate. We can disinfect the pathogens to make the homes safe again while performing animal hoarding cleanup.

We also provide valuable odor removal services for many of these homes.

We can aid in deciding what items to keep, what items to sell (liquidate), what items to donate, and what items to throw out during animal hoarding cleanup.

We work a lot with code enforcement on cases that are in violation of state, county, and municipal codes. We can also help in cases where DSS is involved, generally working with Child Protective Services when a child or children has been removed, or Adult Protective Services, when an adult is removed from a home.

Animal Hoarding

What Happens To The “Stuff”?

Many times, clients are unwilling to throw out everything on animal hoarding cleanup jobs. Even when a client instructs us to throw out everything, we typically find items of value that we return to the client. We commonly find money, jewelry, firearms, and valuable collectables in houses while we are completing the trashout phase. When items of value are found, we immediately take them to the client. This action shows the client that we are trustworthy and prevents the items from being “lost” again.  Many times, cats and dogs that are in the home before we arrive are taken to the local animal shelters to be adopted.

We typically have three main areas: an area for items to keep, an area for items to throw away, and an area for reusable items to donate.
