If you've ever had a rat die in the walls of your home...you know that smell...and you know those flies...and you know you'll never forget it...ugh...So, what was your inspiration to post a link to that wealth of information?

When you run that search, one of my posts turns up. (I know the smell.)

Most of the rats I've met hold managerial positions, if they aren't holding office. Whether alive, dead, or simply asleep, removing them from their domain is tricky business.

i had a mouse die in the heater duct work half way between the vent in the master bedroom and my sons. when the furnace was on our room smelled baaad... using a mirror i saw the decomposing beast and fashioned a scraper out of styrafoam than duct taped it to a fishing rod and carefully caught the offensive rodent and pulled it within range of the vacuum cleaner.. than we poured a liberal amount of baby powder in my sons vent and taped a paper sack over outs and turned the furnace on.. it worked... our room smelled baby butt smooth for months...

Yeah, I know that smell too. I used to work in a branch office where some creature carked it somewhere within the walls. God knows where. We never did find it. The smell lasted for months.
