- NEW!
by Galeanda on May 29th, 2008
I'm so sorry this happened to you. We've had mice die in our walls and even a snake, once. And my parents had a skunk die under their vacation home! The mice don't stay 'smelly' for too long if the weather is warm and dry. But if it gets humid, it takes longer. I'd say that two weeks would be enough time to wait for no smell. But you might be able to make it go quicker by using a dehumidifier or running the air conditioner in the car. You just want the body to dry up and be dessicated. Hope this helps a little.

Take the car to the shop and pay to have it removed. The stench can permeate whatever it is laying on.

Dear Ebzaar, Thanks for the help. Unfort, I can't get to where she is. She's inside the dashboard somewhere. I saw advice about putting an onion to absorb the smell. Ever hear about that?
Are female or male rats more sociable?

Have you ever bought what you thought was a hamster and it turned out to be a rat?

You're reading How long does it take for a hamster to decompose. She died in the car and there is no way to get her out. We have tried everything. Can't drive the car it's so bad and trying to figure out how long this will go on. Thanks from a very brokenhearted Mom.

Thanks, Galeanda. Fortunately, here in VA, it's hot without the humidity right now. Thank God for small favors. Can't run the A/C cuz I think that's where she is. Smells worse when I do. Thanks for the kind words. It is very sad. A warning to all if you have a CritterTrail mini carrier, make sure you tape the caps on both ends. They spin around and fall off. This is how she got out and we've actually watched our other furry sweetheart do this as well. Thanks, again.

May I ask if you are the one who downrated me to -1 or was that someone else? I hope the smells leaves quick!
by Galeanda on May 29th, 2008
I don't think I did and if I did I'm really sorry. When I went to rate your answer (which I loved btw) it said -2 for pts. So when I clicked on the + it went to -1. I'm new to all of this and most likely old and senile :-). Am I doing something wrong?

No, I think it was someone else who did it. It was that kind of day yesterday lol!! Everyone was in a grumpy mood or something. It cold also be the approach of summer time. Summer at AB can be a rough place with points. It could get even rougher once all the kids are out of school in the USA. Hold on! LOL!!!
