Recovery from a trashing: exterminator first or disaster recovery cleaners first

cleaningpest

So, as part of the project that is my (inherited) house in southwestern Missouri, the house finally has been dejunked from the human-inflicted disaster that happened to it. (Worse tenants than us were involved. I will leave it at that.) However, the state it was left in also demands a thorough (disaster recovery thorough) cleaning, and also left the place open for four-legged, furry, squeaky tenants, as was discovered during the dejunking:

So, should I call in the disaster-recovery cleaners first to give the place a thorough scrubbing and then have all the squeakiness removed by the exterminator, or the exterminator first to evict the mice before the cleaners go to work?

Best Answer

Clean up first. By removing their 'house', most of the vermin will leave on their own.
