How long does it take for a dead mouse to stop smelling?

[SpawnChorus]

Does anyone know?

Some inconsiderate little rodent has gone and carked it behind the kitchen units. It's completely inaccessible, and my kithen is permeated with corpse odour.

you need to chop off his nose

a while ... depending on the size of the corpse at least a week

open all windows and get air fresheners (deodorizing ones)

we recently had a dead RAT and it had died near some heating pipes so the smell was much worse when the heating clicked on - took 3 weeks (but rats are bigger than mice)

cornsilk - arf

ruby - door wide open...tis frrrrrreeeeezing!
