SMELLEZEDead Animal Odor Eliminator for Strong Odor Removal - Eliminate Dead Rodent & Wildlife Smell - Safe Indoor & Outdoor Use, Natural Odor Remover, Fresh & Effective - 1 Pouch

We bought this after a rat died in our basement behind a brick wall (we couldn't just punch a hole and re-patch it.) I was very skeptical that it would work, and since it is unscented it did not work immediately. We hung it from the ceiling of our storage room and turned a fan on. (Air circulation helps with decomposition and moving the smell around.) The next morning the smell was GREATLY reduced. The pungent odor was gone. We could smell a faint odor but it's not the knock-out punch smell that we had 24 hours ago. The "death" smell is gone. I feel like we could probably even turn on our AC. (The rat died near our HVAC unit so we aren't thrilled about pumping the smell all over the house. In fact, yesterday we could smell it coming out of our air vents even though the unit wasn't on. Today? No odors are seeping out of our vents.) We had an exterminator over to help us find the entry points and even he was impressed by the lack of smell in the storage room.He told us that we probably have about another 2 weeks until the rat has ceased smelling and I'm glad we have this bag of wonder. It has made our home livable. We haven't tried "recharging it" but it seems straightforward. I hope we never have to use it again! Between this and scented candles, we can get through the next two weeks.

Unfortunately, this product does NOT live up to its claim at all. I have just a small space, a tiny bathroom. A rodent expired inside the walls. I followed instructions,the product did nothing to lessen, much less eliminate, the smell. Save your $25 and open the windows for a couple of days.

To make a long story short--after noticing a terrible odor coming from our bottom kitchen cabinets that didn't go away after removing everything,(no dead bodies in there) cleaning, and repainting the insides of the cupboards, we figured a critter of some sort had somehow gotten in and died in the wall behind the cabinets. Before going to all of the expense of hiring a professional to tear out part of the wall, I went searching for something that might get rid of the terrible smell. After reading many reviews I decided to give this stuff a try. I tied the bag around a sink pipe, and left the cabinet doors open with a floor fan blowing air into the space. It took a couple of days, but the odor is totally gone. I intend to keep the bag hanging in there awhile longer, just to be on the safe side...Yes, it IS expensive, but it was money well spent, as it did the job. Supposedly you can refresh and re-use this by putting it out in the sun for a few hours, and that is what I intend to do, before using it again. (But I'll really be happy if I never need to use it in the future!)

I got the product and immediately used it. Within that day and until now no odor. It really works. Just a little bit of product smell but better than the urine smell. Love it.

This product did not work quickly but the location of the smell from a dead rodent was in a very tight spot near the motor of my SUV. It was a metal shelf-like ledge. The odor came into the SUV on the passenger side, near the glove compartment but the cabin filter did not have any odor. I put the Smelleze on the floor of the SUV right under the glove compartment but this did not work at all. After 4 days, I took some of the Smelleze out of the bag so I could fit it right onto the metal ledge under the hood of my SUV. I had to really push it down so it sat right on top of the ledge where the nest had been. After about 5-7 more days the odor was about gone. I think this will finally get rid of the odor but because the area was in such an occluded space, it had to be placed right on top.

I get about 1-3 mice a year in a crawl space in my basement. I set up sticky traps in the opening to catch them. But I don’t always check often enough & the mouse stuck to a sticky trap gives off the usual “dead mouse” smell. I triple bag the sticky trap W/attached mouse and freeze them until trash day. I’ve used microwave method to eliminate any residual odor in the product in the past.. It works great. Unfortunately the refill I ordered at the same time wasn’t in the box though “my orders” on Amazon said it had arrived. I r requested a replacement using chat (didn’t seem like a person so assume is automated). If it arrives,all went well w/this order but next time I’ll order the refill container separately to decrease possibility of the refill being omitted. Not a big deal since I’ll be using the original inside the cloth bag for a while as these last a long time since it can be rejuvenated (from past experience that works well). For past orders, microwaving to “regenerate” or remove the odor from the product has worked great. But when it’s warm enough, I’m going to try putting it in the sun when it needs “rejuvenating” as after putting it in a microwave that I cook food in makes me a bit nervous so I clean/disinfect the inside of the microwave to make sure it’s sanitary (likely the microwave killed anything that might cause that but dead mice creep me out) I don’t recall the option of putting it in the sun to rejuvenate in the past, but I probably just missed it when reading instructions on back of package. I’d recommend it as it definitely removes any residual odor which is very noticeable when the mouse dies. Not sure this is humane though. Need to do a better job of filling my bait traps that r outside the house along the side where the mouse usually gets into the crawl space. This year was very cold & only one mouse died. I’d recommend this.

This Stuff Works! I had a rat die in a wall in my house. It stunk up to high heaven. I brought one of these and followed the directions, which entailed dropping a bag on the floor. It almost totally eliminated the smell in a very short time. Then about a week later another rat died somewhere close to my laundry room. I immediately ordered two more of these bags and put them where needed. The smell was minimal in about two hours. What I like the most about these bags is that when they stop working, these are still working, you set them out in the direct sun and it recharges them. You can store them in the re closable plastic bag they came in in case you need them again. This was money well spent.
