Hi, anyone know of the best way to remove the smell, on warm humid days or wet days especially, of mice pee. We have an extension which had a couple of mice running around in the roof space for some time, and being mice, they have left their smell of pee and poo behind in there. As we have to have it refelted and boarded on top, we shall at last get to see the inside, sweep up the droppings and now is the big chance to treat the wood with something to soak into it, as far as the pee did, to neutralise the chemical causing the smell inside the room. Being in the UK, all I can think of is Milton sterilising fluid (used for babies products, surfaces etc) diluted with water and sprayed on, but what dilution, drinking water strength ?, or stronger....dont want to affect the timber rot wise. Guess this will kill the bacteria if thats what causes smells, ...what does cause the smell, probably more likely the chemical constituent though, not sure of the physics of smells, we can only smell a gas, tiny droplets of the liquid it comes from, so solids dont smell, but some do, new pvc, new timber, a new TV or lightbulb. Also Febreze sprayed on perhaps,...mentions pet odours. Its supposed to be good at killing smells from carpets and fabrics. This has got to be a once only treatment that will last obviously.
HAS ANYONE ANY BETTER IDEAS, EXPERIENCE ETC. ? Steve
