It seems we have a dead mouse(or mice) in our heating duct. It is starting to smell in several rooms.

Anyone ever had similar problem? How do I find or remove this dead mouse?

:eek: I think you might have to call someone to do this, not sure who would do this though...


AC maintenance people might be able to help?

Check in the area around where the filter is, pull the filter and use a flashlight to check around.

Rudy is spot on, if you can find it and remove it yourself you are good....... otherwise you have to call an outfit that specializes in heating and air conditioning duct cleaning. They have a video scope that they can use to find the dead critter. $$$$$

Get a vulture and put it in your ducts, it will clean up the dead mouse :-)

Seriously, I would call a duct cleaning service, especially with the reports of hanta virus in the county.

Not try to scare you but I wouldn't want rodent droppings in my air ducts.

Yeah, I read that couple of days ago. I have Lloyd pest control coming over tomorrow. I will get those buggers out no matter what it costs.
