I don't know how much it would cost to clean up, but if you are planning on spending a few grand on lawyers fees, I guess the cleaners bill would be in the same ballpark. Talk to family + pay for cleaners = breathe easy. Seems simple and obvious to me.

The more complaints they get, the more they use exacerbating the problem. I would follow Jen's advice and call the Police. Tell them there's a noxious odor and your afraid of a gas leak. That'll scramble the fire department and the local constables. Maybe when they get there and their eyes start to burn, they'll call out someone from the air quality board to run some tests. The possible negative side effect is that you may get in big trouble if they find nothing. If you can control the severity of the stench with the heater, kick it on right before you call or right before they get there to maximize the effect. Good luck.

It was May not long after the snow thaw, we were driving out of the woods on a 2-track to the main road and we smelled something dead.Only, this wasnt a porcupince or even a deer, it was a 17 year old girl who was murdered and dumped. Because of the wind, we didnt smell the body until we were leaving, by then we werent far from the girl.That is a horrible smell, one of the worse. My respect goes out to all those in Medical Examiner Offices who have this in thier (almost everyday) jobs. I cannot help when I get a whiff something dead, I get that immediate memory flashed into my mind-whether it be driving down the road or out in the outdoors. The creep who killed her was convicted of 'manslaughter' and served time in prison. By the time I was in college he was paroled. This happened about 26 years ago.

Maybe C. should call the police again, maybe it's not the decay smell at all, rather something new? Wow, that’s weird.

Douglas, I'd always wondered who did what clean-up after car crashes. Good luck with the whiff, C.
