Dead mouse in wall, or something.

Theres something that really really smells horrible in my living room near the wall. Theres no food or anything that could be causing this smell. I'm thinking its a dead mouse in the wall or something. It only started smelling yesterday.


Anything I can do? I'm about ready to rip the wall open.
 
That's gross.

I guess you could tear out some drywall... or go into the basement and come up from below. You'll have to figure out where the wall is and then drill up. There's about a 6 inch space between the sides of the wall.

Or you could tough it out and just wait for it to decompose.
 
I did blow a fan in the window of hours, got kind of cold.

Can't be under the house, this is the living room in the basement.

A rotten potato smells EXACTLY like a dead mouse, only the odor is stronger. Nauseating.

Oh, man. I left a potato in my potato cannon for a couple months. I got ready to fire it and the igniter crapped out, and I never bothered to dislodge it. After a couple months, I went and tipped it upside down, and what looked and SMELLED like diarrhea came pouring/tumbling out. Oh it was sick.
 
Ripped open half my damn wall, all I found was a bit of fur, and bits of styroam, took the thermostate for the heater off, found lots and lots of fur, must of been were it had its nest. Never found the mouse though.. eeerrrrrrrrr, This is driving me crazy.
 
See if the smell is coming from your air ducts. A friend of mine had a hampster die in his duct work during summer. When winter came and he turned on the furnace.... Yummy!

How would the smell go through the drywall and paint/wallpaper anyways?

I have a un framed window, guessing thats how he got in, and the walls in the basement is prefinished walls or something, really thin and cheap.
