 Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave? Crime scene cleaners are private companies that handle the cleanup after the police are gone. Spalling Decon is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides, suicides, decompositions, hoarding and much more. These are our stories. We are doing a massive level 5 hoard here in bottles. Everything is new, but it's damaged by the rats. There's a whole reptile room. Looks like they were mostly snakes. So sometimes during these cleanouts, we find things that are disturbing. Is a gun safe in there? Oh. These boxes are real, aren't they? It doesn't look like it's a real gun. Is that one loaded? Is that loaded? There she comes! Oh my gosh. 2016. Oh my gosh. Four of them. Five of them. Nature Center. It's a donate all of our... There's one in the way. There's one in the box. Oh my god! Oh my god! That was the new one. I'm not consuming anything, right? Just trying to put everything back in place. Yeah. Looks good to me. And I'm not a decorator. Well, now you can add it to your resume. Right? Curio cabinet layout artist. Right, how are you? Oh my god. Look at all that. Just give it a spray. I'll give this other one out. Literally. I mean, they were here by them. Went on a soup container in a can? The plate is bummed, dude. Gonna put it in here. Gonna make it? Alrighty. Do not remove until TV has assembled. Yeah. There's one more. What's that? it? That's a double barrel, shingled, tamarind head under there. That just acts as a box. You know they're probably gonna come jumping out at us. Hey! All right, just some ceiling pamphlets. Yeah. Taking them on a trip. All right. Or it could be a paddle. Oh, perfect. Clock doesn't know how to work when there's not rats running over at every spot. It's moving too freely now. Here's something of value. I think Kristin needs one of these for our next discussion session. Looks like, what is this thing? Like a dehydrator. Look at that. Just took it off in there and it's good to go. There's even one right on the paintbrush right there. So I guess this is her working classroom. This is what living with about 40 to 50 rats will do to your stuff. Oh, we got rats. Right here in the corner before I start flushing them. Well, I'm gonna start doing some snacks and grabbing slinging here in a second. Oh yeah, they are. Got one here. There you go. Coming your way. It looked like he was coming right on my face. Oh God, I didn't see him. I thought he was right there. I think there he goes. Oh, he's over here. He's gonna miss her. Oh, here. Come in here. You get it, bud? Oh, there. He can't fit in the hole. Let's go grab him. Oh my God. Oh, he's in there. He's in the bathroom. Sorry. There he goes. There he goes. We're gonna have to put that lid on because he's a jumper. He'll jump out. I'm gonna try and flip this. Yeah, but he's gonna go for it. That's when he jumps though, you know. He's in there. A storage locker that she she rented. So this kind of is a little bit of new news, but so she rented a storage locker and says about, you know, well, it's a big one. So, you know, you can fill it up or whatever. So you want to keep everything obviously, you know, with that type of thing. But the other challenge is that that was the bid to purchase the house included a storage locker, the bid to do the hoard, you know, necessarily that wasn't exactly how we put this together. So we've got to talk to her about, you know, what goes to storage. Look through some of these and probably just start making some decision what goes to storage and then try to get a hold of her. Yeah, I believe you're right. They are. They're blank canvases for her art. So we'll keep that here. They probably are. He's gonna be in that corner a while. Three of them. Three of them. Oh, I got one here. I got him or no. Yeah, I think so. He's just kind of hanging out. He's just kind of hanging out a little bit behind some of the thought process behind someone who hoards. We understand the the sentimental value, you know, maybe it was your your grandmothers, you know, you didn't take the best care of it. But suddenly when it comes to departing with it, you say, oh, I'm going to clean that up. I'm going to clean it up and I'm going to put it back in my room, which, you know, we really discourage it. But I mean, I can clean it up and disinfect it. Can't do anything to change the appearance of it too much. But, you know, I do want to appease her a little bit, you know, start breaking as it's my luck. It was important to her. So it's important to me. Do they still have their cat? They have one of their cats. And she said the other one died. So we weren't sure if she meant like it died in here somewhere or it died and, you know, rather down to one. So she's done with the animals, no more reptiles, you know, just the cats enough. Dude, I'm going to get some of this. I'm going to throw it, I thought it. Teresa? Yeah. Can you give me a moment here? Looks like some sort of rope is hanging out. Ah, I'm coming! Running to the overplay! I'm throwing a can of camel. You thought it was one, didn't you? In this place, absolutely. Absolutely, I thought it was real. Here we are, the end of day four. We've got one more day left and got some things over to storage, which was a good thing. It's a good goal today. One of the things we wanted to accomplish. We've got all the carpet removed from inside the house. Tomorrow, I think the plan is we still have a garage full of a lot of stuff. So a lot of that's going to be going over to the storage. Well, we're still seeing a lot of little critters jumping out. We've cornered them all into the final room back there. You know, there's a lot of little nests going in. So we're getting really good at catching them. That's for sure. Catching them and then taking them. And we've got terrariums in the back where we're kind of restoring them for right now. The final day, so it'll be a big push. We'll probably be a little more energized because it is the last day. We know we've got a lot of things we've got to get done and things that we want to get done. We're looking forward to it. All right, so here we are day five. We're about halfway through. This is the final day. We're going to get ahold of the homeowner this morning to come out and give us the last final directions on some of the stuff we took out of the garage. It's been pretty uneventful. We've got a second landscaper here taking care of some trees in the backyard for us. So getting that taken care of for her too as well. Nice thing is we still have people reaching out to us wanting to come over and help. But I think we've got enough people here. So that all kind of worked out nice for us today. We're just coming up with a game plan for this room in here. Our client just left and gave us a few instructions. She's ordered a new mattress and stuff. And so she wants to kind of change her room around, which is good. This is all going to come along with the deep clean that she's agreed to, which is the best thing for her health. I haven't been able to sleep. Just wanting to do this right, to be able to do it for somebody and to do it to the level that we'll do it. But I think we'll do that. We'll set up some stuff outside for the deep clean team to take anything, kitchen pots, pans, all that stuff. Kind of dunk and scrub and, you know, thriller pads. I think we're going to have five, maybe six people price sets on the deep clean. Yeah. Two days. Two full days. Walls, everything. Four days. Yeah, five or six people. We can do it. We're going to deliver probably two loads of those today for the nature. In the back shed that we really wasn't a part of the horde clean out. I think there was like six or eight. Terrarium's back there. There's how many fit in here. Planetarium Nature Center. From South Africa. He's full grown. He's in his 30s. Oh, look at that. He's got about 120 more years to live. Oh my, I want to be him. Hello. Thank you for coming here to Caloosa Nature Center in Planetarium. And just wanted to thank this building, DeCon, for donating 18. I think it's 18, right? 19. 19, 19 terrariums. That's awesome. Here to Caloosa Nature Center and Planetarium to help us get some of our animals and new enclosures and come see us. Flowers and albinos kunk. And Pepe is a stripes kunk. Cool, huh? Oh, very cool. They're full grown. They're five years old. They're a bonded pair. So they mate. We did. It was an incredible amount and they're very, very thankful. And apparently they also help out. They partner with some other people to where, you know, different situations pop up. So they'll donate the terrarium to, you know, that other organization or to an individual. Well, we saw, you know, what was the name, Billy? The turtle? Billy the tortoise in his 30s? 30-some-year-old Billy. He act like a little teenager. He was pretty cool. We found some taxidermy rats at the horde, I guess you could say. You should donate those. If I were a snake, I wouldn't want to eat those rats. You wouldn't? I'm a picky snake. I need gourmet rats, farm rays. Those rats actually ate pretty good. I mean, ate pasta. They ate great, yeah. So we're going to put together her exercise equipment in here in her lanai, where we just removed about, I don't know, 10, 12 aquariums, our terrariums for snakes from the lanai here. So now we're going to build her exercise equipment, which for someone that's in recovery for cancer, I mean, this is huge. So she's very excited. It's actually, it's kind of a surprise for her. Got her little artsy classroom kind of put back together. So hopefully we'll get to kind of cleaning this up. Maybe when we get back to lunch and maybe create a spot where she can sit down and create. Listen, she's pretty crafty and pretty creative. She did some paintings over here. She started to do some landscaping. That looks kind of cool. So hopefully, you know, maybe now this will give her the opportunity to come in here and sit and, you know, something that's probably very good for her. A little meditative. Wrapping up the end of day, day five. We'll be coming back for about 16 more hours. Lots to do. We're also going to be doing the deep clean on this house. Coming back to do that and just to do some of the finishing touches. Never, never thought we'd get to the moment that we've actually going to consider phase one complete, which was a five day D-Hord project. We did a lot of extra things in there, like we always tend to do, get a little carried away. I mean, it feels really good for us to, you know, be here at this point. And I think, you know, considering everything about this home, we couldn't be more pleased. The homeowners were here just a few hours ago walking through. I mean, you can see the light in their face and their eyes. Today I had to have the uncomfortable conversation with the homeowner about, you know, our proposal was to basically D-Hord the house. Just clean it out, get rid of things. And it wasn't about cleaning, doing the deep clean where we, you know, clean disinfect, sanitize. You know, we had a lot more rodent droppings than we had anticipated and, you know, their notorious for carrying germs and diseases. And, you know, I just couldn't sleep at night, so. Well, you made it through that conversation. And it, you know, and you touched something in her to realize that it's really not okay to live like. Well, I guess we're going to say that, but I mean, it's not as healthy. We're here for a little bit more than we want to. She deserves better, they deserve better. They do, they do. This is just one of, would we come up with five phases? Four or five, yeah. Four or five phases. So this is just the end of phase, phase one was, you know, D-Hording the place. Phase two is going to be cleaning the entire house. Then we've got doors and windows going in. Then furniture delivery. So it's getting new furniture, not to be exciting. Oh, we will definitely see you next time. Absolutely. See ya.
