We purchased our home roughly six months ago, and at that time, I knew that there had been rats/mice in the attic for likely and extended period of time (house is nearly 50 years old – and had been vacant for 6 months).
One of the agreements upon purchase was that the seller would have a company come in a remove the “evidence” as well as check for points on entry (none found – they had been sealed up).
Well, now that it has cooled off, I've been spending some time in the attic getting things done. I've decided that I'm going to remove, clean, and re-insulate the attic (it's in my opinion, filthy). While I'm going through this I would like to rid the attic of the smell of its former 4 legged residents. Is there something that can be sprayed? I'm sure that replacing the insulation will make a big difference in regards to the smell, but I'm concerned that it may not remove all of it.
Suggestions? All input is most appreciated!
