So my wife and I have been smelling something in the house for a few weeks now.
We have been trying our best to figure out where the smell is coming from but it’s really starting to become concerning because the smell is getting worse.
As the days went on we started to realize that the house was smelling like a dead animal. I was starting to get concerned that there might be a dead animal underneath the house so I called a pest control company to come out and look at the house for us. My wife and I have dogs, so we really didn’t want to have to worry about the dogs finding the animal. Once the pest control worker came out to the house he went right over to our ductwork. I tried to show him the way outside, but he was convinced that the smell was now coming from the ductwork. He ended up calling one of his friends that works for a local HVAC company to come out to the house and check out the ductwork. After the HVAC worker arrived, it was clear that something had died in our HVAC system. It didn’t take long for them to remove the mouse that died in the ductwork, but I feel like I am going to be scared for the rest of my life. My wife and I decided right then and there that we were going to have regular maintenance done on our HVAC system so we can avoid having this happen again.
