The odor comes from urine in insulation, wood and fabric, so it must be removed or treated at the source. Crews take out soaked insulation and treat surfaces. Air fresheners only cover the smell.
Common signs are small pellet droppings, shredded nesting material, grease marks along beams, gnaw marks and a musky smell. Scratching sounds at night can also point to rodents. A cleanup team can judge how much needs to be removed.
A rodent cleanup service or biohazard cleanup team usually does this work. Attics and crawl spaces are tight, dusty and hard to reach, and soiled insulation often has to be removed. Pest control deals with the animals themselves.
