Dead animal under floorboard smell???

Hi,
there’s a terrible smell in our house. We’ve had a plumber over as we were afraid it was a drain problem- but they couldn’t find a problem. They didn’t think it was damp- couldn’t see any evidence of it. To be honest- it’s not a completely drain like desert smell anymore. I’m worried it might be a dead animal under the floor boards. We haven’t had any flies or maggots found- does this mean it can’t be that? Will the smell eventually go if it is that? How long does it take, if you have any experience of this? The smell is almost unbearable. It’s only downstairs and under the kitchen. There’s only so long I can have the windows open this time of year!

Had lots of dead mice in between floorboards. The smell takes 2 to 3 weeks as others have said.
You can buy sachets of dead mouse smell remover but they smell almost as bad.
