Nauseating smell in my house! electrians, pest people, etc please read and help?

There is this smell in my house that comes and goes I have never smelled anything so disgusting and literally just threw up from it. It happened about 2 months ago and then again yesterday and right now. It seems to start in my living room then will infiltrate my kitchen and I have to close my bedroom door to keep it from spreading in here. It almost smells like water and maybe fish but it has like this toxic smell like whatever it is its bad. Someone mentioned it might be a cats urine or a mouses urine but I don’t have a cat and I have yet to see any mice. I don’t think mouse urine would smell this…toxic? The only thing I can think of is that it might have something to do with the heater or electricity. I haven’t seen mice in my apartment but I do hear some sort of rodents like squirrels running through the walls at night sometimes. Is it possible that they could have chewed something up in there and that’s what’s causing the smell? I’m disgusted. I’m going to go throw up again for relief. :/

am i infested with flies?

we moved into a house in july, there was a big smell coming from crawlspace in mastbedroom attic. there were squirrels living there. pest control came and sanitized and took away everything. now its end of august, and last week out of nowhere there was about 50 flies swarming my bedroom windows. i freaked out, let them all out and killed a few only to come back up to another 20 to 30. the bedroom right below my bedroom had them also. finally i sprayed windows down with raid for 3 days. the flies diminished a lot in number and now i started having dead flies all over the windows in my room and room below. i saw 1 fly today and got rid of it but now i saw 3 flies downstairs on my first floor. are they moving downstairs??? has anyone had this happen? will they go away?????

Smell of urine or feces still coming from attic after sanitized?

We moved into a home a short while ago (rental) and i kept smelling a wierd smell coming from my closet. the master bedroom is the attic and the crawl space to the raw attic is thru the closet. I realized the smell was coming thru the crawl space door. turned out there were squirrels living in there and they created a HUGE room of poop and urine and just disgusting. we had pest control come and he cleaned it out, removed the animals and there babies, and fog it and sanitize it. its been a few weeks later and the smell is still coming. (before the sanitization, the smell would travel all the way down the stairs, it was awful) now the smell is literally if u just walk into the closet. we had 2 electrical guys in there yesterday fixing the chewed wires and they said the smell in there was awful. the animal guy said this must have been going on such a long time that it saturated into the wood and will take a long time to go away. anyone familiar with this and know when the smell will be gone!? i think i may be getting headaches from it or maybe its just in my head. i hope its ok to be sleeping in my bedroom.

My 17 yr old dog is having trouble hearing, how can I call him?

He is wonderful and still pretty active, and still attempts to catch rabbits and squirrels in the yard (by smell?). He has well over two acres of chain link fenced yard that is landscaped pet friendly and has many trees bushes and quiet places to lay and enjoy his old age. I hope he lives to 80. But I am not a spring chicken either and it is difficult to hunt him to tell him his supper is ready (and to check to see if he is OK) I check on him at least 4 or more times a day. He can not stay in the house due to family member with extreme allergies.
I tried the dog wistle but he can not hear it any better than my own whistle. He hears my shouting voice at a distance of maybe 10 – 15 ft but if asleep he does not wake up.
Does anyone have an inventive or original way to get him to show himself so I know he is alright? The vet said his hearing will never improve. He also has cateracts and I can not afford to have them removed.

Squirrel Memory test? MUST SEE!!!!!

This entry for NewScientist proves that squirrels don’t smell nuts. A squirrel’s memory is phenomenal. If you try this experiment at home it is important to distinguish between different squirrels. In this experiment there were three of them. All three squirrels exhibited the same memory traits: They always returned to the same position. Collectively they made over 300 separate trips and seemed to work as a team to systematically clear the hoard of nuts. Here is a link to NewScientist’s …
