How do I remove Dead Skunk or Squirrel in the Chimney or on the Ground?
Dead Squirrel in the Chimney
We have experience with this kind of application because ATX ODOR KILL was successfully used on dead skunks under a building. Since the skunks were on the ground the ATX ODOR KILL was able to stay on and surround the unfortunate "critters."
Our thoughts are that you get the moth balls out of the chimney (I suppose by removing the plastic and letting them fall down). (Moth balls contribute to the mal smell, many people use ATX ODOR KILL to remove the moth ball smell.)
Mix a 10 to 1 solution of ATX ODOR KILL and pour it slowly onto the dead squirrel. Just mop up the excess solution at the bottom of the fireplace. This might take a few trips up on the roof to pour a solution onto the squirrel for the first few days. Also, there may be an immediate off gassing smell.
As the animal decomposes it may finally fall out of the chimney. Then wash down the chimney with a solution of 15 to 1 one or two times and that should do it.

It is safe to apply on any water safe surface.
The key is that the mixed solution must come in contact with the article with skunk odor molecules in order for it to digest the mal smell.
If there is residual mal odors that could not be reached by Odor Kill, they will not be digested and removed.
So, it will be important to get the solution as deep as possible into the articles.
Mix it 10 parts water and 1 part odor kill in a clean spray bottle. Generously spray the area.
Then rub it in with your hands and let dry slowly.

Establish the Severity of the Problem on a Scale of 10 to 0 --- using your nose Before you start, establish the severity of the problem: on a scale of 10 to 0 using your nose…10 being the current condition (the worst) and 0 being an odor or stain free site (the best).
Treat the affected sites(s) and check back in a few hours. Did it improve?
How much? If only by a few points, you'll have to give it another treatment, because the solution did not reach or penetrate into the entire mal odor or stain molecules in the affected sites.
It is important to note, that you did make progress with this first treatment.
Keep treating the site (s) and be sure to get the solution deep enough into each affected surfaces.
