Summer highs in Moraga are milder, around 74 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas. Most homes in Moraga are owner-occupied, with about 17% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept.

The work often covers:

  • Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
  • Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
  • Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
  • Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
