How to eliminate dead rodent smell?
(Picky) tenant is complaining about a dead rodent smell coming from the walls. We had a rodent problem in the attic area that was dealt with and outside holes were blocked. This resulted in a rodent being trapped in the wall and possibly died. I personally could not smell it but the tenant says it's there and I would like to eliminate the order. Are there off the shelf products that are very strong and can suck the order? on top of this the person who eliminated the rodents put mothballs in the attic area which are now out of reach and it's making the smell complex. The attic area is too small to get into so taking all that out will be a while.
In the meanwhile I would like something to absorb the smell from the air quickly.
