Dead Rodent in HVAC Ducts

[Pavan Krishna]

In one of my rental homes, some rodents got into crawl space and through HVAC ducts into attic.  i'm working with Pest Control to take care of the rodents.  my tenants say there is strong odor coming out of the vents on the 2nd floor through the vents.  i've been contacting different contractors.  pest control contractors do not want to get into ducts.  HVAC contractors do not want to touch a dead rodent.  so, it seems like we are stuck.

has anyone in this forum faced a similar issue?  what did you do?  any help is appreciated.
