A rodent cleanup service or biohazard cleanup team usually does this work. Attics and crawl spaces are tight, dusty and hard to reach, and soiled insulation often has to be removed. Pest control deals with the animals themselves.
Mouse droppings and urine can carry germs, including hantavirus in some wild rodents. They are not poisonous like a chemical, but breathing in dust or touching them without protection can make people sick.
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Removing it takes away both the contamination and the smell. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.
