Every week, we have 10-30 trapped cats come in for spay/neuter surgeries. After they go home, we clean their traps.
This is not a difficult task - you rinse the traps, apply detergent, and, if necessary, scrub out any messed with a long brush. Messes aren't often but they do exist. The warm water does a great job cleaning. Once cleaned, a disinfectant is sprayed. It sits for 10 minutes and then is rinsed. We have an indoor washroom with hot and cold water.
This is a position in which you can bring you teenage child if you'd like. We schedule monthly and you can sign up once a month or more, it's completely up to you. The traps need cleaned anytime Thursday or Friday or even Saturday morning; the time is at your convenience.
