The animal is gone, the mess isn’t
Once the raccoon or squirrels are out, what they left behind keeps causing trouble. Droppings, urine and nesting debris carry odor and germs, and the scent tells other animals your attic is a good place to live.
What attic cleanup in Altamonte Springs involves
Every animal leaves a different kind of mess. Raccoons use one corner as a latrine and flatten insulation into a den. Squirrels shred insulation and drag in leaves. Roof rats leave droppings and urine along every path they run, often over ducts and wiring. Bats pile guano under the roost. Cleanup means matching the work to what’s actually up there, which is the same approach we take on attic cleanup across Orlando.
In many Altamonte homes, especially the older block ranch houses off SR 436, the attic is a tight space with blown-in insulation over the ceiling drywall. Soiled sections need to come out carefully so dust doesn’t spread into the living space. In condos and townhomes the attic may be shared, so we coordinate with the HOA or property manager when the mess crosses unit lines. If the gaps that let animals in are still open, we handle sealing the house first.
Dead animal odor
Sometimes an animal dies in an attic, wall void or crawl space. We locate and remove it, then sanitize and deodorize the area so the smell doesn’t linger in the house.

Altamonte homes and the attics we clean
Altamonte Springs sits among lakes, the Little Wekiva River and the wetlands of Lake Lotus Park, with oak canopy over many rooftops. That combination brings steady raccoon, squirrel, roof rat and bat activity, and the longer an animal stays, the bigger the cleanup. Most cleanup jobs we do here follow removal and sealing, which you can read about on our Altamonte Springs wildlife removal page.
We’re based in Fern Park, so Altamonte is close to home for our crew. Florida heat and humidity make attic odors worse in summer, which is one reason people notice the smell and call around then.

Our attic cleanup steps
We schedule this once the animals are out and every gap is closed, otherwise the attic gets dirty again.
Assess the damage
During the inspection we check how much insulation is soiled, where the latrine or nests are, and whether ducts or wiring took damage.
Remove contaminated material
Droppings, nesting debris and urine-soaked insulation are bagged and removed with proper protective gear.
Sanitize and disinfect
We treat the affected surfaces to break down the waste and kill germs, including raccoon latrine areas and bat guano spots.
Treat scent trails
Rodents and other animals follow scent. We treat the paths and entry areas so new animals aren’t drawn back to the same spots.

We had a raccoon who preferred to use our pool and back yard as a personal toilet. After trying the usual internet suggestions we called Kevin the Critter Guy. The first night the trap was set the raccoon was caught. The bad news? It was so big that the trap was forced open in 15″. Over the next several weeks we added traps, tried different baits and different locations to no avail. Kevin never gave up and ultimately used red fox urine. It hasn’t been back since. When a service goes as planned it’s an easy job. The true test? What is the response when it’s not easy. Kevin never backed off and ultimately the raccoon is gone. Highly recommended.

Craig from critter guys was absolutely wonderful!!! He was so kind and most important very honest about what he found and DIDN’T FIND in our attic. He took pictures to show trouble areas that should be addressed to prevent any future problems and didn’t try to sell us on a bunch of stuff that didn’t need to be done by his company. THANK YOU CRAIG FOR BEING A HONEST and REPUTABLE COMPANY!!! ❤️

I recently had a problem with a raccoon who decided to chase a rat around my attic space. Nelson Ramos from Critter Guys arrived. He went up in the attic to inspect. No critters, but obvious tracks in the installation. Two small openings …

Health reasons not to leave it
These risks are real but manageable with the right precautions.
- Roundworm eggs can turn up in raccoon latrine piles
- Old bat droppings may hold the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, a lung infection
- Leptospirosis can spread through rat and mouse urine
- Disturbed droppings turn to dust you can breathe in, so skip the broom
- In an Altamonte summer, waste and dead animal odors travel through the whole house

Questions about attic cleanup & remediation in Altamonte Springs
Have a question that isn’t here? Call or text (321) 203-6963 and we’ll help.
How much does attic cleanup cost in Altamonte Springs?
It depends on the size of the attic, how much insulation is soiled, the type of animal and whether there’s a dead animal to remove. You get a firm quote after we’ve looked at the attic, before anything starts.
Can I clean up rat or squirrel droppings myself?
Small amounts can be handled carefully, but larger messes are better left to a crew with protective gear. Dry sweeping or vacuuming droppings raises dust that can carry disease. If the insulation is soaked, it needs to come out.
Why do you wait until the house is sealed to clean my Altamonte attic?
Because a clean attic that animals can still reach just gets soiled again. We finish removal and close the entry points first. Cleanup usually follows right after our Altamonte rat removal or other removal work.
How do I get rid of a dead animal smell in my Altamonte home?
The animal has to be found and removed, and the area sanitized and deodorized. Air fresheners only mask it for a short time. We locate the source in the attic, wall or crawl space and treat the spot.
Can you clean the crawl space under an older Altamonte home?
Yes. We clear crawl spaces of debris, contaminants and hazards, including droppings and nesting material left by opossums, rats and other animals. The same sanitizing and scent treatment applies down there.
