The search continues

Last week the company was out to clean out the vents and get rid of that dead animal smell coming in through our vent in the bathroom. However, the guy got to the bathroom vent and ran into some problems. Then he broke the head of his tool off in the vent....thus stopping further cleaning of the vents until the tool could be replaced!

Last night they came over to see if they could get the head out and to see if they saw anything in the duct once they removed it. The verdict: they didn't see anything! They also stuck their camera down the nearby ductwork and saw nothing. However, they both agree that there is a strong smell in that area. They also discovered that there have been mice in the dropped ceiling and there's a lot of mouse turds up there. They figure the mouse/mice came in through the area that the AC tubes/cords come go out of the wall to the outside unit....you can see outside through this hole!

I would LOVE to know who did the installation. Seriously how can you leave someone's house like that???? Luckily we have not seen any mice thus far and I doubt we will since we know that Abby enjoys a good mouse chase and is quite good at killing them!

So, we are still searching for that smell. Not sure if we will ever find this dead creature. I hope we do, perhaps I will send a cat on a ceiling search....it should hold all 10 lbs of Abby right???? LOL.
