The first night in forever it's been cool enough to open the windows, a dead animal stinks up the whole neighborhood (and my house) (dubvee.org)

For the first time in 6 or 7 weeks, it was cool enough last night to open the windows instead of running the A/C. Before bed, I opened up all the windows downstairs and upstairs to make sure there was good circulation.

That part was successful; house was 72 degrees when I got up this morning and very comfortable. Maybe I'll even weep a little less when I open this month's power bill. Except, what's that horrible smell?

Nearly gagging, I think, "Aww, man. Did one of the dogs have an accident?" The smell is omnipresent throughout the house, but after checking everywhere, no obvious source could be found.

As I stepped outside with the dogs, the stink became much thicker, and I realized what I smelled inside was coming from outside. The whole neighborhood reeks of dead animal, and now so does my whole house.

Update: Just called animal control, and they're going to come out and try to find/remove it.

Maybe take a walk around the neighborhood, find it, and dispose of it?

Even if I do find it (I suspect it's a deer), I'm not equipped to do anything about it. I guess maybe animal control might come out?

They should. It's a biological hazard if you can smell it.

Just grab a bottle of Febreeze and spray it down. Problem solved.
