Summer highs in Fiskhorn are milder, around 84 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas.

The work often covers:

  • A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
  • Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
  • Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed
  • Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
  • Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
