I smelled an acrid, foul smell in my closet, thinking it was a bat in my attic, I hired a contractor to remove the bats. Much to my surprise, it turned out that my closet had a plastic light fixture that had cracked and was emitting formaldehyde fumes (formaldehyde stinks when heated). The contractor replaced the plastic light fixture with a ceramic one, and the toxic smell is gone now.
Warning: Plastic Light Fixtures contain Farmaldehide! Use the Ceramic ones

Lots of plastics contain formaldehyde.
You can say that the polysester in your cloths do also.
OMG, my clothes? I'm going naked from now on. Not taking any chances.
Versatile contractor. That's good.
Just carry an open bottle of negative formaldehyde with you and you'll be okay.
