What is the best of way to get rid of the smell of dead mice/rats from the fridge after you scoop them out?

After noticing a bad smell in my kitchen, I found dead rodents underneath my refrigerator. I took them out, but the smell is still there. I cleaned the floor and the area but it's been 4 days and the smell is bad enough I get a headache. What else can I do to get rid of this annoying smell?What is the best of way to get rid of the smell of dead mice/rats from the fridge after you scoop them out?
Krisz has the right idea, but PLEASE don't mix bleach and ammonia. You will end up with chlorine gas which can kill you. Google ';ammonia bleach mix'; to get the idea. Scrub the area with some other cleaning solution.What is the best of way to get rid of the smell of dead mice/rats from the fridge after you scoop them out?
PHEW! the top of the question looked like they were INSIDE the fridge!!!








Some may have been in contact with the fridge itself. Carefully (with help) tip the fridge up at an angle,, maybe against the sink, put bricks under it so it doesn't fall back on you, and wash the bottom of the fridge with a strong ammonia bleach mixture. Use the same on the floor. This will kill any remaining bacteria .


Then go over it with a mixture of water and baking soda (bicarbonate of soda about $3 from supermarket or grocerystore) to neutralise the bleach.


Leave a tray of baking soda (powder) under the fridge to absorb any remaining odours.





Squirt around regularly with a good anti-bacterial odour remover like Glen20.





Put out rodent baits where they can be caught before making it to the fridge; if you don't likethe idea of traps that chop their heads, you can get box traps with poison in.
That's a tough one. But, I've had really good success with a product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers - Go out and get a couple of these activated carbon odor absorbers - little purple odor absorber- not the imitations. costs around $3 dollars each and place a couple in the fridge and freezer. Maybe also other areas in kitchen. Totally unscented so it actually eliminates odor rather than covering up with some nasty fragrance.


I've used these for worst smells including spoiled fish in car and for closets and horrible smell in fridge etc. they work really fast and are FANTASTIC%26gt; No spills or chemicals to worry about. You can buy these in kitchen gadget stores or just go direct which is what I do - contact them at customerservice@innofresh.com and ask for order form. You get it right away. Also, noticed you can buy it at Starcrest catalog too. Definitely the way to go. try it.


Good luck
Get some Fabreze the kind for your problem.Also some baking soda by Arm-n-Hammer absorbes smells.
Do Not under any circumstances mix Ammonia and Bleach.


It creates a poisonous gas.
