It's no good unless I get a giggle every now and then.

when we moved into this house it was sitting vacant for about 5 years... there was a mouse nest in the vents in a crook where you could not get to. O man the smell was awful... i simmered cinnamon and apples on the stove.... or oranges and cloves until the duct cleaning service could get out here

and had mouse tea?

I just found a dead mouse under my stove... actually my cat did.... Actually I think he may have been spying a live one and I pulled out the oven drawer and saw the dead one.

I couldn't find the where the smell was coming from a long time ago and figured a mouse ate the poison and died in the walls or behind the cabinets... I don't know why I didn't think about pulling out that drawer. duh.

and for a little mouse... they sure can stink.

Your post was me about 5 months ago when it was still in the 70's outside. I tried and tried to find where the smell was coming from.

I even went under my mobile home (I am claustrophobic) to see if maybe I could tell where it was coming from. I finally narrowed it down to under the floor in my daughter's room.

I laid a small flashlight in the heating/air duct, angled a makeup mirror til I could see down a length of the ductwork. It was all the way at the end of the duct in a corner. Apparently it had gotten into the poison I had thrown under the trailer. I took my mother's vacuum hose extension and duct taped it to my vacuum hose and just kept pushing it in the duct until I heard it suck up the mouse carcass. I then threw the vacuum cleaner bag in the garbage.

I went thru the same thing 2 summers ago, could not find the mouse...ended up just living the the stench until it finally went away

spent that summer with the windows open.

Good luck, hope you find it!!
