My parents live in a double-brick cavity-wall house, built in about 1905. It's become apparent in the last few days that something is very dead indeed, somewhere quite close to the back of the house.
The stink is appalling today, but the revolting blowflies of the last few days aren't around any more. It took us until yesterday to localise which wall vent they were coming out of, having already checked under the house, the chimney, and pulled up the floor in the loft, to make sure we couldn't find anything emanating flies.
Getting the bloody thing out of the wall cavity would be basically impossible, and the stench should only haunt my parents' house for... um ..not sure how long....
Yuck. Any ideas how long it might go on? or what else to do? I think it would cost less for the parents to move into a hotel for a couple of weeks (or just grin and bear it) than for any attempt to be made to remove the thing.
