  Um, dead possum is worse imo. The smell hangs around forever and can’t be cleaned out even when the body is removed.

  Whatever the hell it is is seared into my memory now. I can’t actively smell it while I’m not near it, but i still get random little whiffs. Even while I’m outside

  Fuck this, I’m lightning incense

    Deceased rodent is a smell you won’t forget. Hot weather is kinda helpful because it mummifies them a bit quicker. Our chimney debacle winter last year reeked for months.

      I can assure you it will be stuck in my nostrils for the next 3 months at least. Every now and then I’ll probably get a tiny whiff out of nowhere :/

      I hadn’t considered that! I guess that’s one positive from the warm weather. Hopefully it makes it less habitable for maggots or whatever else is trying to get up there for an easy dinner. I really don’t want to have to deal with an infestation one week after moving in

    Dead rat stink is so bad. Close the bathroom door, open the window, air freshener, scented candles can all help a bit, but it’s a waiting game until the corpse is either removed or decomposed past the stink stage. So sorry it happened to you so soon at your new place. It’s happened to lots of us at some point. It’s bad right now but will be a good story to laugh about down the track.

      spoiler

      Tbh I can already see a bit of humour in it. The idea of trying to scrub rotting flesh stench off myself directly underneath a decomposing rat carcass with magots wriggling around is somewhat funny in a morbid, “what the actual fuck” kind of way.

      This does solidify that if I ever have enough money to buy land and draw up plans to build my own house, I am 100% investing in a very easily accessible ceiling cavity with multiple access doors. Even if I owned this house, I’d probably still pay somebody else to do it, but I want them to be able to find it quickly and dispose of it easily. I did some googling and found horror stories of this happening to people in houses with no roof access at all. That sounds like a nightmare honestly
