Long term food storage is always a good idea along with a good water purifier.

i.e. farming, purifying water, making electricity, clothing ect...

I use the Shaklee air purifier - I also recommend moving air in the basement

Tim, happy to help.We bought out from a USA Manufacturer of Ozone Generators in Ohio.This is the EXACT one we have:http://www.ebay.com/itm/OZ-5000-Ozone-Generator-Great-for-Rental-Properties-Hotels-Air-Purifier-/290802724699?

Unless you rent a warehouse to a cat breeder maybe. canadian listing (more $)600B Commercial Ozone Air Purifier and it comes with 3 yrs warranty https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0052NWCFQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BS9.CbXF6TJXA

And asking how to build two stick deadfall trap on day one is not the right question at the right time…not as important as marking your starting point, finding a source of water, purifying it and building a shelter.

I mentioned it to my coworker who recommended Iuse an air purifier called "Lightning Air."

I have a fix it type of personality, make sure it's not just the smell of the storage space (the tenant before was there for a few years and stored her stuff there and I don't think was in that space hardly ever) , talk to the neighbors,  air purifier, those type of things. 

Have you though about getting them an air purifier?

Would an air purifier help with the smell?
