Rat Sorb Odor Eliminator for Dead Rodents - 1 oz

I had the unfortunate experience of something dying in my wall and this saved the day and my sanity! We had raccoons in the attic and our pest control people said it was some kind of critter that likely got stuck when exits were sealed and sadly, the animal died in the wall. The stench was unbearable, and I thought I would have to tear out the wall! This was a much easier, and less expensive, solution and saved us from a stench that would make your eyes water. The product is very concentrated so you won't need a lot, and please know that it's a 1 fluid ounce amount. You soak a few cotton balls to place around the stinky area and within a few days, the odor is gone. Pest control said decomposition would take a few weeks to a few months, depending on what died, so it takes time, but this will definitely eliminate the odor and make the process bearable. We put the product out and within a day the odor had dissipated, and then we just had to wait until nature took its course.

From reading all these lower reviews, I'm not sure what people are expecting. To hide the smell of a rotting corpse you murdered last week? Nonetheless I had a putrid ammonia smell arising in my camper fridge after I had a rapid infestation of field mice from where it had been sitting. The smell was enough to take your breath away and opening the fridge was a death wish. However, I soaked two cotton balls and threw them in a cup and set it in the fridge. Naturally the smell leaked out and filled the living room from having the door open. I partially soaked a single cotton ball and set it on a paper plate by the fridge. Within 10-15 minutes it had eliminated the ambient ammonia odor from the fridge being open. It was an area of about 20'×16'. The refrigerator was in much worse shape, however I was curious and poked my nose in after an hour and the smell was almost entirely gone. Pretty happy with it. Tips to anybody that uses it, if the air is stagnant, it won't do much. If you barely get enough on a cotton ball to change it to a yellowish hue, then you need to apply more. Good product, a little over priced but it worked. I will be buying another bottle soon. Side note, works wonders on removing odors from shoes. Dab some on the end of your finger and rub it onto the sole of your shoe, kills the odor for several uses.

I'm a fairly hard dude. I drink 94 proof black spiced rum day and night. I like hot sauces like Pure Cap, Pure Lava, and Da Bomb. For those who don't know, those sauces are 1-2 million scoville units or more. I got some in my eye at work once. It bothered everyone else more than it bothered me. I guess it wasn't pretty. I eat food hotter than a biker from New Zealand can handle. My point is, I'm no snowflake. This RatSorb product has an odor all its own. I almost preferred the dead body. If you have several gruesome cow carcasses in your bedroom, then MAYBE this is a good product. Otherwise enjoy the bodies because this stuff has more than its own "odor". It has an "oh dear". It works, but you might prefer the stench of death. I haven't made up my mind. I opened up a different product to handle stink, to handle the the stink of RatSorb. I have more than half a bottle left. If it wasn't such a complicated idea, I'd pay you to take it off my hands.

I had an exterminator come to rid my home of a long-standing mouse situation. I was assured that I wouldn't smell anything. I should have known better... Within a week, my house reeked of dead rodent, which was nauseating. I tried all sorts of things with little success. In desperation, I went online looking for a miracle to make my house habitable once again. Several sources recommended Rat Sorb, so I tried it. I soaked cotton balls in it, and I put them in small pyrex glass bowls around the house. It works better than the other things I tried. It has a lemony scent to it which is much more pleasant than what I'd been smelling, and it did reduce the net amount of stink. Unfortunately, I had more of a problem than anticipated, and mice kept expiring in my Livingroom wall. And stinking. For 4 weeks.... 🤢 I continued to use Rat Sorb, and even bought a second bottle (which I haven't needed to open yet). It really helped. I also put small bowls of coffee grounds out, and between the two products, my house smells much better now.

I kept seeing ads for this products and wondered if it truly worked. We had a rat die in our hearing system and could not locate the carcass. It left our tiny little house smelling like death, so I ordered Ratsorb in desperation. When it arrived, I quickly opened it d started placing soaked cotton balls around the house. Within an hour, the smell was under control, however, a dead rat in an unknown location is going to take time to decompose and the strong smell remains for a very long time. I found that after a few day, the efficacy of Ratsorb fades and the product must be reapplied. IN the long term, I did not find this product as helpful as the claims. The small size bottle isn’t sufficient to deal with the long term effects of a dead rodent stuck in an unknown location, nor is it cost effective. I would not buy this product again, but then again, I would hope that this problems doesn’t repeat itself.

Simple common sense and logic, the only way the dreadfully awful smell is going to go away is to get the body of the rodent into a bag and to spray bleach water on the affected area. I did dilute the rat sorb with a small amount of water and used several cotton balls. I doused the cotton balls and threw them all over the place in the attic. I also put a fan up there and left it on. The next day, I went up there in the attic to peak and smell what the attic smelled like. To my surprise, it is a pleasant smell and not overwhelming. Definitely getting the nasty critters out of there helped too! I would definitely recommend this product! No more scathing vapor of death!

Something died in our house. There is no doubt whatever about that. The wife smelled it, the kids smelled it, I smelled it. I tore back the insulation in the attic crawlspace. Nothing. I scurried around under the house. Nothing. The stench was getting worse with every gagging breath we took. We were desperate. We took to the internet to investigate the best way to mask a really bad stench. Not surprisingly, we came across a bunch of creepy serial killer stuff and products for indoor cannabis operations, but we also found mention of Rat Sorb, the miracle product. I read nearly all 200 plus reviews and had faith that the product would, at the very least, mask the rank smell of what had obviously died somewhere in the walls of our house. The product seemed reasonably priced if it could do what it claimed, so we ordered it immediately. The 1 oz bottle arrived a couple days later and I began performing all the tricks satisfied customers prescribed: taking off outlet covers near the source of the smell and placing Rat Sorb soaked cotton balls inside; shimmying soaked cotton balls into crevices, etc. For the next two days, I removed the old cotton balls and replaced them with new Rat Sorbed ones. Holy landfill! By day three, the stomach churning smell of death had cleared just in time for a visit from my mother. In response to all the negative comments about this product, I'll say this: in my research, I read that it typically takes three weeks or more for the smell of a dead rat to completely dissipate. With Rat Sorb, we suffered a few days of our house smelling like camphor potpourri, then the air was clear. *note: my wife told me to add that she didn't particularly like the heavy camphor-esc smell of Rat Sorb (I did't mind it at all, btw), but she is glad the dead rat stench is gone.

Well I bought this product based on all the 5 star reviews ( which I really should stop doing on Amazon ). In all honesty this is not some silver bullet cure all. I used this whole tiny/expensive bottle in one shot and all it did was add another layer of smell to the death soup emanating from an exterior wall. What really did help was opening a window, placing a fan in it blowing to the outside then opening a second window across the room for cross ventilation. The rest is just a waiting game for mother nature to do her thing.
