Is There a Dead Animal in Your Wall?

A dead animal inside a wall, attic, or crawlspace produces an unmistakable, worsening odor — and a health hazard. Locating it takes experience, because the smell travels and the source is rarely where you’d guess.

Signs of a dead animal

• A strong, sickly-sweet decay odor that gets worse over a few days.
• Flies or maggots appearing near a wall, vent, or baseboard.
• The smell concentrated in one area of the home.
• Odor following a recent rodent or wildlife problem.
