Also deep clean the house using bleach, Pine Sol and clean with baking soda and vinegar and if you have carpet do a carpet cleaning.

If the house is musty it should be aired out and used a dehumidifier or air conditioner to get rid of any excess moisture.

White vinegar is another way to get rid of odors.
