The AC just kicked on and I detected the scent of a dead rodent.
It was faint, but unmistakable. Seems to be upstairs, as there is no trace (by my hyper-sensitive nose) in the basement or on the first floor.

I'm now on a mission. Wish me luck.

If I don't post again in the next couple of hours, call for help.

8. HA! Dead bird in the attic!
Found it above the upstairs bathroom.
Disposed of it.
Said a prayer. (no, not really. Screw that stinky dead bastard)
Cleaned the ceiling tiles.
Replaced a light bulb.
Had a smoke.
Vacuumed the upstairs.


SUCCESS!

11. I was prepared for a rat, but found a wren.
I suppose that's better, in the realm of dead house animals.

15. A year ago that happened to us...
except it was in the CAR!!!! Yes, pulled the interior ventilation filter (honda civic) and there was a dead mouse and mouse house. Remind me why I have cats, I sure don't remember. Anyway, new $40 filter and some kinda spray and a week and it was gone.
