This has NOTHING to do with breastfeeding, but I am desperate for help!.

When I got home and the weather started to warm up (anything is warmer than
below freezing, I have come to accept!), I detected a funny smell when
standing on my front porch and (even worse!) in my basement, which is
completely sealed to the outside.

Today it was even worse (3 days later and warmer still) and I have
concluded that an animal must have found a way into a crawl space NEAR but
not in my basement and expired there. Now that the weather is warming, the
odor is really noxious and I have no way to get to the critter!

The hardware store man sold me some stuff that is suppoed to "attract"
odors and neutralize them, but let me tell you--with the furnace on this
PM, the smell is wafting merrily upstairs and making me gag.

Have any of you really smart people got any grand ideas?  I despise those
heavy floral sprays, but I don't want prospective clients coming to my
office and wondering if I never clean house--or worse, harbor animal
carcasses and (in defense) have lost my sense of smell!  Ack!

Will eagerly await your suggestions...  [isn't life wonderful?]
