The carpeted area covers about 2/3 of the apartment. I have a carpeted and uncarpeted area in my bachelor apartment. The pests started about 4 weeks ago, but that was just before exams so I tolerated them for a while. I am a university student living in an apartment building which annually fumigates for roaches, but I have rarely seen bugs in my apartment. I am trying to diagnose and then exterminate pests from my apartment. I don't want to call a pest control company and have them laugh at me. Is this a pest control issue? I guess not if said pest is already dead? I need someone to come identify the source and dispose of the dead body? I am not sure whether pest control is the right professional to call. Regardless whether it is my responsibility to fix it, I guess I need to address it since if I don't, the smell will get worse and worse and it may be more and more difficult to rid the smell later the longer I wait. This is not a mechanical or electrical failure, the lease does not specifically cover things of this nature. I asked whether it could be sewer gas smell and they said no, it smells like a dead animal and they cannot live in that side of the house. The husband said he tried to open the garage hatch and the odor was so bad he cannot enter the attic and they demand I go "fix it". The odor smells like some dead animal up there. I said what? They said there is a very strong odor and they traced it to the attic. She said I need to fix a "smell" problem. Now today I got a call from the tenant and this is a new one. I live over an hour away to go there myself to check things out. and I normally just call someone to go out there to fix it and have them deduct the cost from the rent check. Occasionally I get calls to fix different things - plumbing, electric etc. I have a rental property that I lease out.
