Decomposing mouse: Carpet offcuts urgently please

Recommended Posts

Hi there

A mouse has escaped under our floorboards, died and is now busy decomposing. The noxious smell is rising into understairs cupboard as it is the only area of exposed floorboards.


We need to cover the cracks and carpet seems the obvious method - thicker the better.


Any other decomposing mouse management tips welcome

Thanks

Hi


Firstly remember


DEAD MOUSE.......MAGGOTS.....FLIES......in any circumstance....if left unattended


contact Rentokill



Lifting the floorboards would be my first choice.....


& as for carpet to cover smell....not a chance,this will work

This time of year there should be no problem with Maggots / Flies.


Smell can be over-powering but should fade after 2-3 weeks. Will dry out quicker in the summer.


I used to have a real problem with mice but now use the high frequency plug-ins.

Very few mice over last few years. Just the odd one here and there.


The plug-ins work best in areas with hard surfaces.. i.e. Kitchens. I have 3 units in my kitchen but my kitchen

is 18-19 ft long.

    • If you’ve got four quid spare, go and try one. Myself, I like the mozzarella and spinach, but there’s no accounting.
    • More of a Steak Bake kinda thing, then.
    • You might want to try the Peckham Facebook community group. I am located in East Dulwich & have 2 well-used scratchers: A large single post (ideal for an adult cat) & a small cat tree with 2 short posts (ideal for kittens) While the wear & tear is nowhere near as bad as the one shown in the link below, ideally the sisal should be replaced to get the best use out of it (& neutralise the scent of another cat) hence why I haven't donated these to a shelter. You may find this link helpful: https://thegreenmadhouse.com/diy/how-to-repair-your-cat-scratcher But you can just get a brand new one between £10-£30 on Amazon that'll last much longer. It all depends on what type of scratcher you're looking for; material, size, vertical or horizontal. Your little lion will let you know by whether they're currently scratching down or up, like a mat or armchair for example. More than happy to send location & leave in front garden for pickup.
    • Would happily take it off your hands! Preferably in Peckham. Thanks 🙏🏻
