A beer-guzzling hoarder packed out his filthy home with a staggering '10,000' cans - and filled them with 'hundreds of gallons' of urine.

Professional clean-up technicians Tom DeSena, 23, and Junior Lallbachan, 26, were sent to clear out the two-storey house in Florida, US, on April 9.

But when they opened the front door, the pair were stunned to find that the entirety of the property's ground floor was buried four-feet deep in Coors Light beer cans.

As they inspected every room of the house and found more rubbish, the crime scene cleaners also discovered that home was infested with what seemed like '10 million' cockroaches.

Tom and Junior claim that shovelling the cans into bin bags caused them to 'avalanche' towards them as they were piled so high.

The cans were piled in five of the downstairs rooms and the home's two-car garage, and were even found crammed in the walls, cooker and toilet.

Tom, from Long Island in New York, now says the experience has put the pair off Coors Light for life, and has left the pair 'wishing they were exterminators' because of the sheer number of insects in the property.

He commented: "We didn't know what to expect. We were told there's hoarding, beer cans, kind of an alcohol situation and that there's a lot of garbage, but there were no pictures.

"Junior and I were kind of walking into it as a surprise.

"There's cans in the walls, there's holes in the sheet rock and in the sheet rock there's cans. There's cans in the cooker, and in the mattress and in the drawers and in the closet, in the toilet.

"Let's just say, guessing, there's 10,000 cans.

"That means that for every one can, there's ten to 15 roaches. Probably ten million roaches in that house.

Tom revealed that practically all the cans from the toilet into the kitchen area had been refilled with what would be "would be dozens of gallons, if not hundreds of gallons, of urine" - leaving him with no other choice but to breathe through his month because of the foul stench.

He also claims that it took the cleaning team four days and almost four full dumpsters to clear out the ground floor of the three-bedroom house.

While no-one appears to be living in the property at present, Tom claims that the beer can hoarder is still alive and now living elsewhere.

Expressing his worries for the former occupant, Tom said: "I'm not a doctor, but you can tell [...] this isn't normal.

"Hoarding the alcohol, refilling the cans with urine and hoarding that - it is very, very clear that something is very wrong.

"I just thought, 'damn, this person's struggling'. That's really all there was, and then we started shovelling.

Tom says that the team are making "good progress" at the site and are motivated by the fact they "know that we're doing a good thing", adding that they will stay there as long as it takes to get the job done.

"It's people's lowest point in life, and we've got to be there to get them back on their feet and help them move forward.", he said.
