Pet smell
They may be a big part of the family, but they can get just as smelly as humans. When their hair falls out, bacteria grow, which tends to get nasty pretty quickly.
Bathe your pet often and clean the areas where they eat and sleep once a week with soap and water, without harsh chemicals. Be sure to also vacuum under beds and sofas to avoid odor and hair buildup.
An excellent air freshener can also aid in helping to keep your spaces smelling less like your pets. And if you notice a raunchy, wild smell like your dog needs a bath, don’t blame Fido!
You could have raccoons, rodents, or squirrels in your attic. According to the CDC, these settlers will use your space as a bathroom, which is especially dangerous concerning raccoons, whose feces may contain roundworm eggs that pose a threat to people.
If you find feces in your attic, don’t be a hero and try to pick them up, though. Call a pest control expert to ensure the safe removal and resolve this home odor problem.
