What Are The Most Common Reasons For Bad Smells & Foul Odours?

When you can’t find the source of your bad smell, the likelihood is that it originates from a source that you would not associate as the cause or it is not coming from your home or building.

Our technicians find the most common reasons for a bad smell include:

  • Dead rodents (mice and rats) in cavity walls, behind skirting boards, under the ceiling, in the loft insulation material. The rodents are then infested with flies/maggots creating a stench that can invade every room.
  • Smears left behind by rodents usually on skirting boards as they search for food. Again, these attract flies and crawling insects.
  • Urine and faeces from rodents and mice (alive and dead). Mice and rats will mark their territory with urine and faeces which can spread throughout a building, but this is not visible in open places (unless the infestation is widespread)
  • Rotten food left unnoticed in dark spaces can attract cockroaches.

However bad smells can also originate from other sources including:

  • Bacteria left to breed because of infrequent or inadequate cleaning (especially in kitchen spaces and restrooms)
  • Drains – blocked or rising due to flash flooding
  • Mould and mildew from poorly ventilated spaces and shoddy construction
  • Odours from poorly ventilated and inadequately cleaned restrooms
  • Combination odours – for example from new furniture, carpets, cooking, paint, and usually known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Can You Get Rid Of A Bad Smell Yourself?

Masking is not the answer because it can give the illusion that the smell has been eradicated by any deodorising properties within the products used. If it has not been correctly identified and dealt with, the smell is likely to return, especially if you have a pest infestation (or the smell is attributed to VOCs). The pests will continue to make your property their home and this includes breeding.

Tracking the source of the bad smell must be the first step. If you do not do this, you are in effect masking the smell and it is likely to worsen. For example, if mice are the cause of your bad smell, then the infestation will only increase.

Tracking will involve speaking to neighbours or other tenants to see if they are affected by the smell too and to what degree.

Once you have tracked the source of the smell you will need to understand if it is a smell that you ‘own’ or the source is another party such as a tenant or neighbour. If you identify the drains as the source your neighbours will equally be affected, and you will likely need to call an odour detection specialist to pinpoint the problem.

If the source of the smell has been identified and you can eliminate it through intensive cleaning, please ensure that the space you are cleaning is one that you can tackle with ease and without affecting anybody else. But bear in mind, unless you maintain these new regimes and consider installing air purifiers, the smell is likely to return.

Why Bad Smells Are Bad For Business & Health

Some odours can cause temporary symptoms including headaches and nausea. Respiratory conditions such as asthma can worsen. If the smell is affecting your place of work, it will affect concentration levels and morale and it could breach health and safety regulations.

A foul odour can also affect customers. If a bad smell affects an office or showroom customers will not want to hang around for long and subsequently lead to a loss in sales.

What If You Cannot Locate The Bad Smell?

Since finding the foul odour is the first step, if you can’t discover where it is coming from, we may help you to locate and eradicate the smell simply by sharing our professional advice. If this is not likely we can arrange a survey with you.

A Dyno-Pest odour removal technician will visit your property and will be able to advise of the treatment required and if the smell is a sign of a pest infestation what steps he will take to eradicate the infestation and deodorise your property using professional-grade treatments. We do this by;

  • Using a range of equipment and forensic searches will help identify the source of the odour.
  • Using natural, safe, and environmentally friendly neutralisers, we will sanitise all affected areas and eliminate the odour, killing all bacteria. The air sterilising machines we use are powerful and safe which is especially important when you have the welfare of staff and customers to consider or you work in an environment in which food is prepared served or stored.
