Dead rat under the floor boards :(

Hi can any one help? We were having some building work done and I discovered evidence of a rat in my living room. Stupidly I found the hole it had come in via - stuffed it with bait and blocked it up! I now have dead animal smell emanating throughout my downstairs. It isn't possible to pull up the floor to remove as poor thing could be any where. Does any one have any suggestions on what to do about the smell? Or any support in general would be nice! I'm 38 weeks pregnant with N.2 and finding it all very stressful!
TIA

Call Pest Control at your Council, they will be best able to advise. Sorry, there's not really anything pleasant to say about it. I've had a conversation with our Pest Control officer and its not nice. Getting rid of the corpse is the only solution or you might have a problem with flies for a while.... sorry

Thanks, I've left a message on their answer phone!
