I believe her. I, early in my wonderful airline career, got stuck on the 11p-7a shift which included the duty of cleaning a DC9, myself. Not routinely but it happened that the local pest control company came out and met the plane on arrival, put out sticky traps and such then came back before boarding time to retrieve them. I never saw a dead rodent but I do believe there are probably some on some aircraft.
But, like the OP even said, not much can be done inflight. But how do you know the ground staff wasn't notified on arrival. Your post indicates you don't believe they were.
