Naked Rat

There’s been an odd smell in our house as of late. Its been somewhat unpleasant, and quite embarrassing. Its definitely animal in origin, but none of our pets have done anything. To get a better understanding of the aroma, I crawled under the house today to investigate. It did smell. There’s a sump pump that removes water that collects under the house during the rain, a couple packets of “Mouse Killer” and 4 rat carcasses. I think we have located the source.

I was left with the chore of removing them. Quite a job considering the various stages of decay.

  1. Yeah, kind of odd. The others were just piles of hair, but this one is completely intact except for the hair. I think it must have been mummified by the others.
