Yes, Kevin did find the source of the stench. It was not a mouse....
It was a LARGE dead (& decaying) RAT. He cut two holes in my closet wall before finding and removing said rat. Nasty does not even begin to describe it. It wasn't for the weak-stomached. It took me HOURS to go to sleep that night I was so worked up - and I didn't even SEE it. (Refused to look).
So, yes, Kevin gets the husband of the year award. I'm quite impressed that he handled such a yucky dirty nasty job. BLECH. And the cinnamon funk is slowly disappearing from my closet/bathroom. I might start putting clothes in there again soon. =)
GROSS!!! Do you think it has been there since they built the house? Like it got locked in when they finished it?? YUCK! Glad you found it though...what are the odds. :) Yea for Kevin!
ReplyDeleteSomething I recently found out because we trapped one in our attic, rats and small rodents have a 2-3 day decomposition. After that the smell goes away and they just deteriorate. Larger rodents - raccoons & squirrels take a few days more.
ReplyDeleteSo next time you can just plug your noses a few days and it will be gone :) That's advice from my pest control guy.
