Is the seller responsible for issues that they hid?

We bought a house and within a day the inside of our kitchen drawers were covered in mouse droppings. We had an exterminator out and there's a serious mouse issue. We believe the seller was hiding this because the pullout garbage can was nailed shut. We thought this was weird, but didn't think anything of it until now. Can we make the seller pay for the extermination costs? It's so upsetting that our kitchen is unusable until this issue is cleared.

Do I need to set an offer deadline?

There was an offer deadline on a few of the houses we made offers on. Now we are selling our house, do I have to set an offer deadline immediately or wait until people ask? Does setting an offer deadline make it look like there is demand when there isn't?
