Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / April 2007Getting Rid of Smell
I have '65 that sat outside for over 10yrs. Infested w/ rats, rat sh.t, papers. . . MAN does it reek. I've got all the inside gutted, put baking soda on the floor for a few days to absorb the smell, let it air out but it still is really awful. Any suggestions on getting the smell out? Thanks. > I have '65 that sat outside for over 10yrs. Infested w/ rats, rat > sh.t, papers. . . > MAN does it reek.

In time it will go away. Did you clean everything you could? Al Bleach. >I have '65 that sat outside for over 10yrs. Infested w/ rats, rat > sh.t, papers. . .

Get in there with some cleaner, or media blast the inside >I have '65 that sat outside for over 10yrs. Infested w/ rats, rat > sh.t, papers. . .

Go to a carpet cleaner and get some of the product they use for ridding carpets of pet odors... it's an enzime solution which essentially eats the stuff up. You say you stripped the interior. Does that include the heater and vents/vent hoses? Quite often that is where the buggers build their nests. > >I have '65 that sat outside for over 10yrs. Infested w/ rats, rat > >sh.t, papers. . .

I had not made it yet to to heater/hoses or AC bolt on yet. It is in the plan but I'm just starting out and figured I look for answers. I'll do that and probably all the other things posted. >> >I have '65 that sat outside for over 10yrs. Infested w/ rats, rat >> >sh.t, papers. . .

You did understand that I pointed out the heater box and vents because there are quite possibly nests inside. Cowl can be another place. Any place a mouse can get it's skull through, it can get the rest of it's body through, and they'll nest in the safest places they can get to... We never figured out when or how it got in the vehicle, but, in Portugal, a hedgehog had crawled back inside the frame rail of a pickup truck (6 pak) and died. The truck sat for a long time. |
