Dead Mouse and Rat Odor Behind Walls and Vents – Eliminate the odor with Activated Charcoal

  Now, there is a way to Safely and Effectively Eliminate Dead Rodent Odor that is hidden behind a wall or in a vent.

 It’s that time of the year.   The faint scratching that you heard in the walls have gone quiet and instead have been replaced with the rather pungent odor of decomposing rodents – mice or rats.   

We know from experience.  You can smell it the minute you walk into a room or open a closet where the smell is coming from.  The odor from a dead, decomposing mouse or other small rodent is enough to drive you out of the house.   Before you take a hammer to the wall or search through the vents, there is an easier solution to reducing and even eliminating the strong odor from a dead mouse behind the wall or in a vent.   Dead mice and rats hidden behind walls, cabinets, vents and closets are among our top odor inquiries.   The good news is that we have helped many readers just like you.

There is a way to SAFELY eliminate the odor with natures best odor absorbing material – Activated Charcoal.   No chemicals or irritating fragrances that just mask the odor.  There are a number of products that claim to reduce the odor, but the best answer is to actually absorb the odor with carbon or charcoal.  Getting a spray bottle of odor reducer is not going to help when you can’t get to the dead rodent.   Placing activated charcoal odor eliminators in the area where the smell is the worst is your best choice.    Our popular FRIDGE IT Cube activated charcoal odor absorber is extremely effective in tackling the strong odor from a dead mouse.

Our customers often ask – “But, I thought that FRIDGE IT was for refrigerator, freezers and trash odors?”   That is certainly some of the uses for FRIDGE IT.  However, the special ventilated activated charcoal fliter that we use for FRIDGE IT is amazing in effectively absorbing and neutralizing a broad range of odors and has the absorption capacity to handle even the toughest of odors including dead mouse odor.   FRIDGE IT contains a powerful micro carbon filter that absorbs and neutralizes odors as they pass though millions of micro-pockets and pores in the activated charcoal.  The amazing property of activated charcoal is the enormous microscopic surface area that odors (gases) actually “adsorb” to, adhering to the surface of the activated charcoal.  Just placing a few of these FRIDGE IT filters in the area that you feel the dead mouse is likely located will help tremendously in absorbing the smell that is lingering in the air.   For best results, place these odor absorbers near the baseboards and in the general area near the wall.  Depending upon the size of ther room and difficulty of the odor, we typically recommend 3-6 odor absorbing filters placed nearby. 

If you have problems with mice in your home, we recommend first trying to trap the mice in the open with a mouse trap or other device so that it doesn’t just end up eating the poison bate and then die behind the wall.  However, despite best efforts to trap them, the reality is they often end of simply dead behind a wall and the smell is pretty darn bad.  So, again, before taking a hammer to the wall, discover the amazing power of activated charcoal for absorbing odors.   Not just any charcoal, but the ventilated activated charcoal of FRIDGE IT.

Secret of Activated Charcoal and Activated Carbon for Odor Elimination and Removal

Innofresh Activated Charcoal Products is a leading supplier of U.S. manufactured activated charcoal odor absorbers for the consumer and commercial markets.  Since 1992, we have provided superior activated charcoal odor absorbers for home, work, dorm, pet areas and automobiles and outdoor recreation from musty odors in cabinets and closets to power outage problems in refrigerators and freezers.   Our activated charcoal with VAC technology provides effective odor removal and elimination even from the toughest odor causing environments including outgassing, dead rodent odors, diaper pails, musty basements, college dorm rooms and office break rooms.  

Here are some of the more frequently asked questions about Activated Charcoal:

What is Activated Charcoal?
Activated charcoal is a highly porous, natural material that attracts and removes organic chemicals and gas from the environment.  It is manufactured by burning various carbon materials, such as wood, coconut shells and other organic material in a specialized oxidation - oxygen free process that results in literally, millions of microscopic pores and cracks inside the carbon that provides an enormous amount of interior and exterior surface area in which odor molecules are attracted to and neutralized.

What is the difference between Activated Charcoal and Activated Carbon?
Actually, there is not any difference.  Both of these terms can be used interchangeably and are synonymous with each other.

What can Activated Charcoal remove?
Activated charcoal is used in many fields including water treatment and medical devices to eliminate various organic pollutants from the water and the air including some toxic chemicals including VOC’s such as benzene and some other oils.   At Innofresh, we use this amazing material to create superior carbon filters for elimination of household, pet and car odors including smoke, food, animal, musty and other unwanted odors.  For additional information about Innofresh Activated Charcoal, click on this link to our website page – What is Activated Charcoal?

Is there a difference between regular charcoal briquettes used for barbeque grills and activated charcoal for odor elimination?
The answer to this is a big “YES”.  And, even more importantly is the safety of not using ordinary barbeque charcoal for odor control.  Activated charcoal or activated carbon goes through an extensive process which significantly increases the microscopic pores that attract and eliminate odors.  To explain it further, not all activated charcoal is the same and this makes a difference in performance.  Our activated charcoal filters are made from high quality materials and undergo a porous binding process that eliminates black powder and small particles common to most activated charcoal.   
Safety – Another important distinction is that, in addition to not being “pure” or oxidized as activated charcoal, charcoal briquettes generally have other chemicals added to them to make them combust better for use in grills.   So, keep your charcoal briquettes for grilling and use activated charcoal specifically made for odor elimination for a safer, more effective way to eliminate odors.

Earth Day is April 22. So, Why Is Activated Charcoal Better?

Earth Day is April 22.  So, what does carbon footprint mean?  Also, a little diddy about plastic bags.

This year, we celebrate the 43rd anniversary of Earth Day, an event which is recognized internationally.   Today, both responsible companies, and individuals are helping to build a more sustainable, greener, heathier and cleaner future.  You can find many useful websites and resources the provide valuable information on everyday things that you can do to help the environment from tips on better recycling to reducing car idle time, turning off lights and eliminating toxic cleaning chemicals that contain volatile organic compounds.

Most people see the importance of recyling and understand the hazards of toxic chemicals, both for the environment, but also for individual health.  But, most people really do not understand what “carbon footprint” really means.  Since it’s Earth Day again, here is a quick review.   An understandable definition of carbon footprint that I’ve read is “the amount of energy used by yourself, an organization, an event, or product to sustain itself”.   In other words, the total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse emissions that are required.

This sounds reasonable, but other factors also need to be considered in this calculation.  I’ll use an example that I read about that illustrates the point with the familiar grocery plastic bag.  Apparently, China, as part of their pursuit of a greener and cleaner future, has prohibited the use of thin plastic bags in an effort to sway consumers to use reusable cloth bags.  Here’s the challenge, which is also the same for the U.S. and other countries.  A new study by the Environmental Agency of England found that the thin plastic bags actually have a smaller carbon footprint than the reusable cloth bags and even disposable paper bags.  According to their findings, you would have to reuse a cotton bag at least 131 times to equal the carbon footprint of a plastic bag (USA Today).  Furthermore, if you reuse plastic bags, say as garbage liners, the difference is even greater.The point of this short post is simply to suggest making informed decisioins while acting responsibly to do your part in recylcing and reducing harmful chemicals in your home and environment.  And, as far as plastic bags are concerned, I think the jury is still our on this one.

At Innofresh, our fragrance free and allergen free odor eliminators and air fresheners are made with natural activated charcoal, giving consumers a safer alternative to many of the toxic scented air fresheners.  Our activated carbon odor absorbers are eco-friendly because these activated charcoal products do not contain any toxic VOC’s – volatile organic compounds or any other harmful chemicals.

Celebrate Spring With Innofresh. Spring Cleaning with Innofresh Activated Charcoal Odor Eliminators

History of Spring Cleaning

From the very early days, several ethnic groups and faith traditions adopted Springtime rituals of cleaning, before or after celebrating holidays, that may have evolved over time into what we now call “Spring Cleaning”.    In times past, particularly in cold climates, people kept their houses closed throughout the cold months and heated their homes with coal, oil and wood.  The coming of Spring was the time to make a musty home, fresh and clean again.  The arrival of Spring was a time to throw open windows and doors and allow fresh air into the home and to clean the yuck that was built up in mattresses, rugs, drapes, etc., removing soot and ash that had built up over the winter months.   Even mattresses, that were made of straw or other natural materials, would typically wait until Spring to replace the old filling with fresh dry hay.

So, here we are today with our Spring Cleaning rituals.   While some parts of the country still have snow, April showers will bring May flowers as they say.   It’s time to open up the windows, clean out the closets, cabinets and refrigerator and give your home the Spring Cleaning that you, your family and your home deserves. At Innofresh, we would like to help get rid of the Winter doldrums by helping you keep your home smelling fresh and clean without smelly fragrances and harmful chemicals. 100% fragrance free and allergen free, Innofresh and Fridge IT activated charcoal odor absorbers absorb and neutralize odors throughout your home, including pet areas, under sinks, near trash, closets, storage, cabinets, rooms, basements and much more.  Our Fridge IT Cube odor absorbers are even powerful enough for a common problem this time of year in parts of the country – Dead rodent (mouse) odors hidden behind walls….and, gentle enough for baby’s room – all natural activated charcoal.  No chemicals, no fragrance.  Discover the amazing power of activated charcoal for all your musty household odors from food, pets, and even smoke.
