Rats give disease, eat our food, scurry in toilets, infests, and smell horrible when they’re somewhere decomposing. Until you chanced upon the rat’s decomposing body, your family will endure weeks of the horrible smell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s the accurate description of a rat’s decomposing body? There are no words to describe it, but to give you a picture, here it is. The odour is a horrible, putrid smell that mixes with the various gases that a decomposing body of any kind has. It literally smells like death mixed with garbage and feces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rats are larger than mice, so their body decomposes slower than the latter. Not to mention, the rats give off a more pronounced decaying smell. Take note, though, that rats and mice aren’t necessarily the only culprit of that “decaying smell.” Sometimes, squirrels or opossums can also decompose somewhere inside the house.<\/span><\/p>\n

No one can tell when the decaying smell would go away. In an estimate, a rat’s decomposing body could take weeks before it would totally dry out. Once it dries, the decaying smell would eventually subside. Your house’s and your environment’s humidity strengthens the decaying odour. So, if rats in drains<\/strong><\/a> die in a warm sewer, near steam pipes, a car’s engine, or any other moist areas in the house, the stench dies out for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
