Quick answer. Critter Guys offers attic cleanup in Apopka, FL, after raccoons, squirrels, rats or bats. We remove droppings, nesting debris and contaminated insulation, then sanitize and disinfect the attic or crawl space and treat scent trails and dead animal areas. Cleanup comes after the animals are out and the entry points are sealed. You can book an Apopka inspection by phone or text at (321) 203-6963.
Removal isn’t finished until the mess is
Droppings and urine soak into insulation, and the scent tells the next animal your attic is a good place to live. Cleaning it out breaks that cycle.
Signs your attic needs cleanup
You don’t have to go up there to know. These are the clues that usually show up below.
A smell that won’t fade
A sour, ammonia odor through ceiling vents or the attic hatch, even after the animal has been removed.
Stains on the ceiling
Yellow or brown spots on drywall under the spot where an animal was living.
Flattened or tunneled insulation
Insulation that’s been packed down, pushed around or tunneled through, which also cuts its value against Florida heat.
Flies or a sudden rotten smell
Often the sign of an animal that died in the attic or a wall void and needs to be found and removed.
Droppings on the attic floor
Raccoon latrines, rat droppings along joists or bat guano piled below a roost.

What we find in Apopka attics
With so much woods, marsh and nursery land around it, Apopka gets a wide mix of attic animals, and each leaves a different kind of mess. Raccoons coming in from the Lake Apopka shoreline and Wekiva woods tend to pick one corner as a latrine. Roof rats that climb up from oak-shaded yards leave droppings along every joist they travel. Bat colonies under barrel tile leave piles of guano below the roost. Squirrels drag in leaves and shredded insulation for nests.
Older homes around downtown and US 441 sometimes have crawl spaces that collect the same debris, and we clean those too. Whatever the animal was, the cleanup only starts once the animals are out of the house and the openings are sealed.
Apopka field notes
- Raccoon latrines from marsh-side yards
- Guano under barrel tile roosts
- Crawl spaces on older frame homes
Why attic cleanup in Apopka matters for health
Wildlife waste is a health issue as well as a smell. Raccoon latrines can carry raccoon roundworm. Guano from a bat colony may hold the fungus that causes histoplasmosis. Rodent urine can spread leptospirosis. None of this is cause for panic, but it’s a good reason not to sweep it up with a shop vac and a dust mask.
We remove it with protective gear, bag it out and disinfect the area properly.
- Raccoon latrines removed and disinfected
- Bat guano cleared after exclusion
- Rat droppings and urine-soaked insulation bagged out
- Scent trails treated so others don’t follow

I’d choose 10 stars if it were an option. Mike at Critter Guys did such a great job for us. We made only 1 phone call to get rid of the mice (and a few rats). Mike took over from there. He stayed on top of the problem, kept checking in with us by phone and even came out almost every other day to double check that the problem was solved. He climbed into every nook and cranny in our attic space multiple times, in the worst heat, ever making sure that everything was sealed up tight. I happily say that we are now critter free. Mike’s fantastic and he won’t let you down. Thank you again Mike.

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 …

Our Apopka attic cleanup process
Cleanup always comes last. Doing it while animals can still get in just means doing it twice.
Confirm the attic is empty and sealed
We make sure the animals are gone and the entry points are closed, through our Apopka exclusion service if needed.
Remove waste and debris
Droppings, nesting material, food stashes and any dead animals are removed and bagged out.
Pull damaged insulation
Insulation soaked with urine or packed with droppings is removed so the contamination doesn’t stay in the attic.
Sanitize and deodorize
We disinfect the affected area and treat scent trails, which helps keep new animals from being drawn to the same spot.
Attic and crawl space jobs we handle
Cleanup covers more than the attic floor. These are the most common jobs we take on after removal.
- Raccoon latrine removal and disinfection
- Bat guano cleanup after an exclusion, following our Orlando cleanup standards
- Rat and mouse dropping removal along joists and ductwork
- Squirrel nest removal from soffits and attic corners
- Dead animal removal and odor treatment
- Crawl space cleaning of debris, contaminants and hazards

Attic Cleanup & Remediation in Apopka: quick answers
Still wondering about something? Call or text (321) 203-6963.
How much does attic cleanup cost in Apopka?
It depends on the size of the attic, the type of animal, how much area is contaminated and whether insulation has to come out. We look at all of it during the inspection and price the cleanup your attic actually needs.
Can I clean up animal droppings myself?
We don’t recommend it. Raccoon droppings can carry roundworm, dried guano can release histoplasmosis spores, and sweeping old waste puts it in the air you breathe. We use protective gear and disinfect properly.
Do you replace insulation after removing it?
Our work covers removing contaminated insulation and debris and sanitizing the area. We’ll tell you what was removed and what the attic needs afterward so you can plan the next step.
There’s a dead animal smell in my Apopka home. Can you find it?
Yes. We locate dead animals in attics, walls and crawl spaces, remove them and treat the area to clear the odor. The smell usually gets worse quickly in Florida heat, so it’s worth calling early.
My Apopka attic only had a squirrel for a few weeks. Does it still need cleaning?
Sometimes not, but even a few weeks of squirrels or rats can leave more nesting and droppings than you’d expect. The inspection will show whether cleanup is needed or whether the area is fine as is.
Do you clean crawl spaces under older Apopka homes?
Yes. Crawl space cleaning covers debris, contaminants and hazards left by opossums, rats and other animals, plus sanitizing the area once they’re gone.
