That phrase had no meaning before, so...

26: incorrect. "mouse in the house" is, if I'm not mistaken, basketball terminology referring to a highly skilled defender that is significantly smaller in stature than his counterpart.

No. It is beyond logic at this point. She'll have to burn the house down

That's too logical, tearing down the entire wall is definitely the only way. Definitely.

Deodorant works on armpits, not walls.

They have some deodorants that can be placed in caskets, mausoleums, etc. (places where there will be decomposition) to help with the smell. Maybe that is what the previous poster meant.

Whenever do any work in walls you tend to find dead mice, and no one has ever smelt them, your house is a fairly dry environment and the mouse is tiny so the decay won't be significant, it's more likely to end up a bit desiccated. Just leave it there it won't do any harm

And this is why I don't own cats. In all seriousness, however, I was doing some demolition in my office last week and found a nest of mice - at least four skeletons - in the wall. Never had a clue they died there. Rats can be big enough to stink, but mice are relatively odourless when they pass.

Yup, that's what I was going to say. Mice don't have much moisture in their bodies, so when they die, they tend to just dry out and mummify with no smell. So I honestly wouldn't worry about it, OP. It won't smell. You can safely ignore it. :)

Tom never really managed to catch Jerry...

Well now that jerry is dead, he should have no problem.

You sure just ruined my entire childhood! Thanks!
