ok so this is vile but we had a dead rat behind one of our downstairs walls, my partner took drywall out, disposed of it and thought it was over, however smell was worse, we called the council out they pulled bath pannel out and had a look about but said another rat could have died in the ceiling void, very awkward to get to and would mean having to remove all flooring upstairs, they said it could have died at any part of upstairs but if there are any gaps for smell to escape thats why we can only smell it in downstairs hallway. They said that the smell will go when its turned to bone, its been 4 months so far not sure how much longer I can bear it, its nowhere pungent as it used to be, i find it worse if the pipes are heated up for bath/shower. We cant afford what private pest control have quoted us.
We have used sprays, that gel off amazon that comes in a tub, diffusers, plug ins, we dont have a window in the hallway just kitchen and front room but where its so hot in the UK right now there is hardly a breeze. any tips what we can do to try and get rid of this smell?!
thanks in advance
