How attic cleanup in Ocoee works
We only clean once the animals are out and the entry points are closed. Otherwise you pay for the same cleanup twice.
Inspect and assess
During the inspection we look at how much of the attic is affected, which animal was there and whether insulation is soiled.
Make sure it’s sealed
If the house still has openings, they get closed first through our wildlife exclusion in Ocoee.
Bag out the waste
Droppings, latrines, nesting material, food caches and any dead animals are removed with protective gear and bagged out of the house.
Remove soiled insulation
Insulation that’s saturated with urine or matted with droppings is pulled so the contamination and odor leave with it.
Disinfect and treat scent
We sanitize the affected areas and treat scent trails, which helps keep the next animal from homing in on the same spot.
Ocoee attics after a wildlife problem
Most of what we clean in Ocoee comes from four animals. Roof rats climbing in from backyard oaks and citrus trees leave droppings along every truss. Squirrels coming off the West Orange Trail canopy pack soffits and attic corners with leaves and shredded insulation. Raccoons from the lakes and retention ponds pick a corner of the attic for a latrine. And bats that feed over Starke Lake and the neighborhood ponds leave guano under the tile roosts.
Ocoee’s tile and shingle roofs over block walls trap a lot of summer heat, and that makes odors from urine or a dead animal much stronger, much faster. Cleanup is usually the last part of a job that starts with removing the animals and sealing the house.

A few recent calls
Florida heat makes attic odors worse
An Ocoee attic in July can get very hot. Urine, droppings or a dead animal up there will smell stronger and spread faster, which is why cleanup shouldn’t wait long after removal.

Omygoodness I never thought I would have to meet Craig but I did! And he was amazing! He immediately answered the phone, told me what he could do / when he would arrive and followed through with what he said. He was prompt, courteous and put me at ease! God willing I will never need him again but if I do I will not hesitate to call him!

Raccoon, rat, squirrel or bat: what’s left up there
Different animals leave different messes, and each one needs its own approach.
| Animal | What we usually find and remove |
|---|---|
| Raccoon | A latrine in one corner, torn ductwork, flattened insulation |
| Roof rat | Droppings along trusses, urine stains, chewed wiring |
| Squirrel | Leaf and insulation nests in soffits and corners |
| Bat | Guano piled below the roost, staining on wood |
When an Ocoee attic needs a cleanup crew
You can usually tell from downstairs. Watch for these.
A lingering sour smell
An ammonia odor that drifts through ceiling vents or the attic hatch, even after the animal is gone.
Brown spots on the ceiling
Staining on drywall where urine has soaked through the insulation.
A sudden, awful odor
Often a dead animal in the attic or a wall void. It needs to be found, removed and the area treated.
Higher cooling bills
Insulation that’s been trampled or nested in loses its value, and the AC has to work harder.
Health risks, kept in perspective
Animal waste in an attic isn’t something to panic about, but it isn’t something to handle casually either. Raccoon latrines can carry raccoon roundworm. Bat guano can hold the fungus that causes histoplasmosis. Rodent urine can spread leptospirosis. The biggest risk comes from disturbing dried waste and breathing the dust, which is exactly what happens with a broom or a shop vac.
We use protective gear, bag everything out and disinfect afterward. It’s the same standard we follow on every attic cleanup in Orlando. If the mess came from rodents, our rat removal in Ocoee handles the source first.

What Ocoee homeowners ask about attic cleanup & remediation
Still wondering about something? Call or text (321) 203-6963.
How much does attic cleanup cost in Ocoee?
It depends on attic size, which animal was there, how much area is contaminated and whether insulation needs to come out. The quote we give after the inspection is for the work your attic actually needs.
How many days will my Ocoee attic be out of commission?
Often just one, though bigger attics or heavy contamination can take longer. After the inspection you’ll know roughly how long your job will run.
Can I stay in my Ocoee home during attic cleanup?
Usually, yes. The work happens in the attic or crawl space, and we bag waste out carefully. If anyone in the home has health concerns, let us know and we’ll talk through it.
Do you remove dead animals from walls and attics?
Yes. We locate and remove dead animals from attics, walls and crawl spaces, then sanitize and deodorize the area. In Florida heat, the sooner the better.
Why does cleanup happen after sealing and not before?
If the house still has open entry points, another animal can move right back in and contaminate the attic again. Sealing first means you only pay for cleanup once.
Do you clean crawl spaces in Ocoee?
Yes. Some older homes around downtown Ocoee have crawl spaces, and we clean out debris, contaminants and hazards left by opossums, rats and other animals, then sanitize the area.
