Dead rodent smell...can't locate

David Bray

Posted

We are renovating a property which had a rodent problem. We have eliminated the live ones but there seems to be one or more in the floor/ ceiling that has died and reeks. We tore up some floor boards finding signs of activity but no carcass. We had a pest control company do one treatment, but no new activity. We had the vents professionally cleaned. Still a strong odor in 2 bedrooms. Should I keep tearing up flooring to try to locate, or just let it decompose? We are about 30 days from completion. Any ideas on how to approach this a different way?

The ozone machine will eliminate odors. Be careful as plant life, pets also will be eliminated.
