Mice here have lots of acorn bits in their nests.

There's this stuff called Nature's Miracle.  It's some sort of enzyme 
based odor remover.  It works great for cat and dog caused smells, on 
anything that isn't damaged by water (clothes, carpet, upholstery...).  
I would imagine it would work for problems caused by other critters.  
It's relatively cheap, so it's worth trying.  Most pet supply places 
will stock it.
