I had rats die in the walls and ceiling of a townhome. The pest guy said they would eat the poison, get thirsty, and go outside in search of water. WRONG. They died in the house structure. After putting up with that sweet sick smell for 2 weeks with no letup I starting cutting holes in the ceiling looking for the offender. I'm skeptical that the oder will ever go away and I really think the sheetrock walls will absorb the smell and it will always be there in form or another.
