Default dead odor in heating ducts

I already check the filter. Clean and odor free. I guess I will next try to
sniff each floor register when the furnace is off (yuck). If I don't find
one with a strong odor, then I guess I'll venture into the crawlspace and
explore the ducts there.


If you suspect the odor comes from an expired mouse, I wouldn't
worry too much. It won't last long. Check the places you can
check easily. But I wouldn't start ripping out ducts or drywall
for a single mouse.

Of course, if you suspect a larger animal, a more extensive
search would be appropriate.
