Rodent smell in attic.

The most obvious sign that you have rats in the attic is they will leave rat droppings all over the place.

I went into the attic pulled apart the 3 flex off the fan and found nothing no droppings. Floor plates have been seriously soaked with rat pee.

Dave i have a foul smell coming from my ceiling fan in the 2nd floor power room. The smell is still in the air at the center of the powder room. Nests in the attic and walls. A rat infestation grew in the house my dad spent the last several years of his life.

If you think you may have a rat living in your attic then you need to get up there and investigate further. I know its there but can t find the carcass. Rodents are such annoying little pests darting here and there playing in our clean laundry gorging on bits of our food and leaving little pieces of poop in some corner of the house ir ri ta ting but the truth is i think i d take a live moving jumpy rat over a smelly dead one any day. So if you re experiencing a smell of this nature in your home it s hard to say with certainty the culprit is a mouse without visual confirmation.

Will the smell eventually subside from the floor plates or should i replace them. Unfortunately this smell can be produced by any member of the rodent family mice rats etc that may have found its way into your walls attic or crawlspaces and died.
