I think the trick is
for each line, the first half gives a two-word phrase where the second word starts with "s". For the second half, move the "s" to the end of the first word to give a new two-word phrase where the second word is a type of tree (hence, "lost in the woods").
However, I'm missing
the trick to find the first words; e.g. I don't know how to pick a rodent for the first line.
The lines:
Cleaning a cute rodent, or its inhabitation.
squirrel soak -> squirrel's oak
Overgrilled meat, or Justice Hugo's plantation.
Black steak -> Black's teak
Keeps us upright, or our prickly evergreenery.
Human spines -> Human's pines
Escape World War II, or blood thirsty insects' shady tree.
Flee Selm -> Flea's elm

$\begingroup$ Third is just a general (or loosely - medical) term. Note the "our" in the second part, which generally refers to us as a creation. $\endgroup$ Jun 12, 2017 at 19:06
