I finally found the words to describe the smell:

"Musky honey"

Whatever it is if it's not gone in 10 days the drywall is getting busted...

Someone also suggested that it could be mouse urine, possibly in the
insulation. Does anyone know what mouse pee smells like? One poster
on another board said it has a "sweet" odor to it.


Probably not unless the mice are diabetic. Mouse pee smells pretty much like
any other kind of pee.


It could be stashed food, or rotting cellulose insulation, or some peculiar
type of mold, too.

Looks like it's time for someone to invent an electronic stench identifier..
Either that, or a scratch&sniff sampler of common offenders....

Wonder if there are strange knockings and noises....kinda like the
Amityville Horror that was a sickly sweet smell IIRC. :-O
