We did have mice. My sis hd bght sm D-con. I told her that it says on the box, tht u'll strt finding "bodies" in like 4-5 days. I had told her tht we didnt nd 2 get anything that wld cause them 2 die anywhere. Thy cld crawl in2 walls & die & we'd hv no way of gttng thm out. Well, nw there's ths awful smell in sm rms of the house. Lk smthng I cant explain. Tht is the only thng it cld be. A mouse (or mice) hd to hv died somewhere, but we dnt knw where. So wht do we do? We cnt go tearing dwn the wall, we rent ths place. Ths snds awful, bt hw lng ds it tk 4 a mouse's body 2 decompose cmpltly, till they no lngr smell? R there sm ppl tht hv 2 wait 4 that 2 hppn? Is there smthng we can buy 2 draw the odor out? Plz dnt reply if ur gng 2 fuss cuz of mice dying, they're alrdy dead. Sm ppl dnt lk the thought of killing mice, but they hv diseases & I care for my elderly mthr,so plz dnt respond just 2 cuss abt. I appreciate any honest answrs. Thanks.

If you can't find em, then there's not much you can do. But, the smell will go away. It usually takes about 2-4 weeks, depending on the temperature. It's better to put poison out when it's cold outside!

We had that problem in Upstate NY apartment...The mouses would get stuck in the wall. and die there...There was no way to get them out since somehow they got in from the outside...We searched around the foundation of the apartment to find the location and could not find it
.. Best way is to air your house daily...and in the room where the smell is the worst...I put down baking soda along the floor boards..Its s uper smell deterent just like for your Fridge....
Good luck!!!!!

it relatively is organic behaviour, i would not evaluate it a recent, she's purely attempting to offer you nourishment the only way she is conscious how. It became into in all danger purely a million/2 alive because of the fact she attacked it specifically to hold it domicile to you and did no longer inevitably care if it became into ineffective or alive, purely see you later as to procure it.

that happened to us before
my aunt's room smelled really bad & she's realy scared that her baby,her & her husband would get some kind of disease because they could smell the rat and that while it decomposes the ashes or something of the rat might get sniffed by the so they moved to their mom's room
i think it takes about a week or two i'm not sure though

I don't know where you live or if it's available where you are, but there is a product called Nilodor which could help.
