Something died inside a wall in my finished basement. The smell is
foul. It is not possible to get inside the wall. Is there anything I
can do other than wait for the carcass to dry up? Spraying with
Fabreeze helps for a while.

Speaking from experience I'd rather not have, depending on the size of
the critter carcass, the smell might get far more foul - you may not
think it possible, but it can. There's always a way inside a wall.
What exactly are you up against?

I suspect that the critter was a mouse. At first I thought it was cat
pee on the carpet (I have two cats) but the smell is definitely coming
from the wall. The wall is between the bathroom and the hall. It is
pine panels. I don't want to destroy the wall. The smell seems to be
lessening right now.

It will pass in a month or so - a rat did the same in my home. Lasted
for about 1 month but was livable as it was in the basement. We used
Oust spray to mask it.

I found a completely skeletized mouse in the wall of my basement.
Could have been there for 40 years. It still smelled bad.
