Found a dead mouse inside a wall plate yesterday, took 20 minutes to clean out
House out in Anoka, customer said the living room smelled weird for a week. Pulled the plate off a coax outlet and a dried up mouse fell out. Had to vacuum the whole thing and spray it down. Anyone else run into animals in the walls on a regular basis?

Dipped into a crawlspace once and a raccoon had been living off dropped fast food wrappers for weeks. Took me three trips just to haul out the trash and spray everything down with enzyme cleaner. Your mouse sounds like a free appetizer compared to that mess. Gotta love the hidden surprises behind drywall.

@adam_nguyen7 That "free appetizer" comment got me. But honestly, how do you even find stuff like that without it being a total disaster? Did you have to suit up in a hazmat suit or what? I feel like half the battle is just knowing what you're walking into before you open that hatch. And then you still get hit with the smell first anyway.

Honestly, how do you even prep for something like that before you pop the plate off? Do you just walk in expecting the worst case scenario every time?
