If there is pee, there will also be poo. Have a gander and see if you see any droppings. They're like little black pellets the shape of zeppelins (if you've ever had a hamster or gerbil, they're similar), if you can't find any I'd be very dubious about mice. In my experience from having them, you hear them scuttling at night. If you're worried, you can get humane traps for pretty cheap - definitely cheaper than an exterminator.
I don't remember seeing any poop. Maybe I'll go up and check again. He also showed me some gaps in the insulation and said that's made by mice to get around.
. He also said the insulation is 12 inches which is low and to gave me a quote for $8000 to remove existing insulation and blow new insulation (because there would be rat poop inside). Or $6000 to blow on top of old insulation.
That is utter bullshit, he's a scammer.
