Rats have to be one of the most problematic rodents out there even if they’re not even alive. The smell that comes out of their carcasses can be even too much to bear and can easily spread through several rooms easily. The smell is said to be very horrible and very difficult to track because of the rat’s tendency to hide in between clutter and even make a nest from the clutter. Rats are therefore very difficult to find even after they die. They unleash a very pungent smell that can be smelled from different rooms even though the rat happens to be dead in the garage, in the walls, or somewhere else very secluded in the house. So that begs the question, how do you get rid of dead mouse smell?
If you have rats you want to get rid of, hire Exterminator Oakville for rat removal!
1) Vinegar and water
This would be the most simple and cost-effective way to get rid of the rat smell. Go down to a dollar store and buy an empty spray bottle. Now to make a deodorizer, mix 2 teaspoons of vinegar with water and mix well. It may smell a bit sour at first, but if you want you can mix a few essential oils with it to make the smell a bit more pleasant.
2) Dehumidifier
A dehumidifier will take care of the dead rat smell in the walls. Especially when it comes to the rats that are decomposing in your walls. Humidity worsens the decomposition process and can make the smell way stronger than it originally was.
3) Odor absorbing bags
There are bags that are actually designed to absorb the bad odour. The best way to go about this is to locate the smell as close to the source as possible. Hang a bag or two near the source and close the space if it is in a space with a door. Leave the door closed for 24hrs or so, and you will start to smell a difference.
But this does not get rid of the rat smell completely. Dead rats are still in your house and are either decomposing or are in the process of dying meaning that this is bound to be a never-ending cycle. So how do you go about removing rats? The best way to proceed is to hire a licensed rat control technician that is experienced in locating, removing, and sealing up entry-point so that are rats dead or alive won’t be a problem anymore.
