Need Freeper advice! Just got home from vacation and have discovered a horrible odor in the house. I’ve tracked it down to one of the center walls and I’m guessing that either a mouse or a squirrel died between the walls. It’s a two story house so short of tearing down the dry wall I have no idea how to handle this. It stinks bad and is made worse by the 105 degree Texas heat. Any advice would be greatly appreciated; I don’t even know who you would call for something like this!
I agree. We lived in an 1840’s house in Michigan and the odor does disappear after a while. At least wait a week and go to Home Depot and get a gel that acts as a room deodorizer. We had bats in the hollow walls and after we found out where they were coming and going and plugged the hole, the odor started but it soon disappeared.
