Cleanup needs across Largo’s housing
Largo has one of the highest shares of manufactured homes of any city in the country, along with plenty of concrete block homes, condos and townhomes. That shapes the cleanup work. In block homes, the mess is overhead in a hot, shallow attic. In manufactured homes, it’s often underneath, in the tight space between the ground and the floor, or inside a roof cavity with very little room to work.
Homes that back up to green space near McKay Creek, Taylor Park or the nature preserve tend to see more raccoons and opossums, which leave bigger messes than rodents. Wherever you are in town, the cleanup approach is the same: get it out, disinfect and treat the scent. It’s the same method we use on attic cleanup around Orlando.

Cleaning under a manufactured home
This is the cleanup most homeowners can’t reach on their own. When raccoons, opossums or rats den under a home, they tear the underbelly fabric, drag insulation to the ground and leave droppings and urine all over. The smell comes up through floor registers and ductwork, especially on hot, humid days.
We crawl in, remove the droppings, nesting and soiled insulation, pull out any dead animals, and sanitize the ground and the underside of the home. Then we treat the scent trails so the next opossum doesn’t follow the old one in. If the skirting is still loose, sealing it is the step that keeps the space clean.
Torn underbelly fabric
Animals that get into the underbelly can leave droppings inside the insulation layer itself. We’ll show you what we find so you can decide on repairs.

The Largo attic cleanup process
We only clean after the animals are out and the entry points are closed, so you don’t pay twice.
Assess the space
We check how much of the attic, roof cavity or under-home area is contaminated and whether the insulation can be saved.
Remove contamination
Our crew, in protective gear, bags and removes droppings, nesting, soiled insulation and debris.
Disinfect
We sanitize the cleared surfaces, including framing, decking and the ground underneath homes, to kill germs and break down odor.
Treat scent trails and old entries
Animals track scent. We treat runways and old entry points so new animals aren’t drawn back to the same spot.

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 …

A smell through the floor vents is worth checking
If you notice a musky or rotten smell coming from floor registers, something may have died under your home or in the ductwork. We’ll find it, remove it and disinfect the area.
DIY cleanup versus professional cleanup
Some homeowners try to clean up after wildlife themselves. Here’s where that usually falls short.
| Doing it yourself | Critter Guys cleanup |
|---|---|
| Dry sweeping stirs up droppings dust | Contaminated material bagged and removed safely |
| Bleach on the surface, smell stays | Sanitized and deodorized at the source |
| Hard to reach under the home | We crawl in and clean the whole space |
| Scent trails left behind | Runways and old entries treated |

What Largo homeowners ask about attic cleanup & remediation
Have a question that isn’t here? Call or text (321) 203-6963 and we’ll help.
Do you clean underneath manufactured homes in Largo?
Yes, it’s a big part of our cleanup work in Largo. We remove droppings, nesting, soiled insulation and dead animals from under the home, then sanitize and treat the scent. We’ll also point out any skirting or underbelly damage that should be fixed.
What does attic cleanup cost in Largo?
It depends on the size of the space, how much is contaminated, whether insulation needs to be removed and how tight the space is to work in. You’ll have the quote in hand before any Largo cleanup work starts.
How do I know if the insulation needs to be replaced?
If droppings and urine are spread through the insulation, or it’s matted and stained, removal is usually the only way to get rid of the smell and contamination. Light, spot contamination can often be cleaned in place. We’ll show you what we see.
Is it dangerous to clean rat droppings myself?
It can be. Rodent urine can spread leptospirosis, and sweeping dry droppings sends dust into the air. If you have to handle a small amount, wet it down first and wear gloves, but larger messes are best left to a crew with protective gear.
Will cleanup get rid of the dead animal smell?
Yes, once we find and remove the source. We disinfect and deodorize the spot so the smell leaves with the animal. Air fresheners and sprays only cover it up for a day or two.
Should the animals be removed before the cleanup?
Always. We remove the animals and seal the entry points first, through services like raccoon removal or rat trapping, then clean. Otherwise the space gets dirty again.
