Safely Eliminate Dead Mouse Odor Behind Walls and Vents

Eliminate Dead Rodent Odor

 
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.   Well, before you take a hammer to the wall or search through the vents, there is an easier solution to reducing and even eliminating the pungent odor from a dead mouse behind the wall or in a vent.  This photo might be cute but there isn’t anything funny about dealing with dead mouse odors.   It’s that season.  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.   Our popular FRIDGE IT Cube activated charcoal odor absorber is an extremely effective solution for tackling the strong odor from a dead mouse.  
 
Our customers often ask – “But, I thought that FRIDGE IT was for the refrigerator?”   Yes, that’s most certainly true.  However,  the special ventilated activated charcoal

FRIDGE IT Cube

filter that we use for FRIDGE IT is amazing in effectively absorbing a broad range of odors and has the absorption capabilities to handle even the toughest of odors including dead mouse smells.    FRIDGE IT contains a powerful filter that absorbs and neutralizes odors as they pass through the 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.    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 near the baseboards and in the general area near the wall.   Depending upon the size of the room and difficulty of the odor, we typically recommend 3 – 6 odor absorbing filters placed nearby.   They last up to 6 months and can be used elsewhere once the odor is gone.

 
  If you have problems with mice in the house, we recommend first trying to trap the critters in the open with a mouse trap or other device so that it doesn’t just end of eating poison bate and then die behind the wall.  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 you take a hammer to the wall, discover the amazing power of activated charcoal for absorbing odors.
 
You can learn more about FRIDGE IT and activated charcoal at our website – Innofresh.   We know fast ship is important.  Orders are shipped within 1 or 2 business days and shipped US Postal Service PRIORITY (US domestic orders) for fast delivery.   International orders shipped regular ground US Postal Service.    All our products are proudly manufactured in the USA

How To Safely and Quickly Eliminate Dead Mouse Odor In Walls and Vents

Dead Mouse Odor

Dead Mouse Odor

Let’s face it.  Musty smells and unpleasant household odors are very common, especially this time of the year.  Not surprisingly, one of the most popular odor problems that our readers are interested in is “Dead Mouse or Rat or Rodent Odor” and how to eliminate this pungent smell.

This is why I am writing this blog on how to eliminate dead rodent odor. It’s that time of the year when little creatures come out and visit.  Unfortunately, sometimes they leave more than some crumbs or droppings inside the house.   We often hear from our readers that a mouse or rat is dead and hidden behind a wall, in a vent or in a crawl space and leaving noxious odors.    A frequently asked question is “Does Innofresh activated charcoal really work to eliminate the odor from a dead animal hidden in the wall?”

The answer is YES. Of course, our first suggestion is to try to trap the critters in the open first, by using mouse traps or other devices so that it doesn’t just eat poison bate and then die behind the wall. But, despite best efforts,  they often simply are dead behind a wall and the smell is pretty bad.    Dead mouse or other rodent odor is tricky because you often never really know where exactly the mouse is and you certainly do not want to start drilling holes in the wall, crawl space or vent.     Also,  another challenge is knowing what really is dead behind the wall.   If the problem odor is from a larger animal, I’m afraid that you really should try to have it removed.

In the case of a small mouse, using a few of our powerful, fragrance free FRIDGE IT cube odor absorbers will have positive results. FRIDGE IT, originally made to eliminate very tough refrigerator and unwanted household odors, is powerful for other difficult household odors including dead mouse odors. It’s our strongest odor absorber for the job. All you need to do is place them in the area that you feel the dead mouse is likely located.   If behind a wall, just place FRIDGE IT near the baseboard on the floor and also, up higher on a shelf or top of dresser.     If the smell is coming from in a closet, you can just place a few of the FRIDGE IT cubes in the closet to absorb the lingering odor.

FRIDGE ITcontains a powerful and effective, ventilated, activated charcoal filter that absorbs and neutralizes the toughest odors that pass through it.  The millions of micro-pockets and pores in our activated charcoal has an enormous surface area that make it so incredibly effective.    Yes, a dead mouse odor that is coming from behind a wall is particularly difficult to eliminate since the source of the odor is hidden.     However, placing our FRIDGE IT cube odor eliminator in the area will help absorb the smell that is lingering in the air.  And, no chemicals and irritating fragrances that just cover up odors.  We usually recommend placing at least three (3) of our FRIDGE IT cubes in the area for this difficult problem odor.
