For the last two weeks or so, I have been picking up an odour, sometimes it's was like old stale water, like when the washing machine breaks down and doesn't empty out, at other times it was like something had died. I couldn't always tell where it was coming from. Sometimes the basement but other times it seemed to be upstairs. I finally found it by accident. I went to start the dehumidifier and noticed some water still in the catcher, I had turned it down but it must have come on once or twice during last spring. When I pulled out the tray, even though the water wasn't that deep, three mice had jumped in and drowned! Barf! I never had that happen before, gross! I certainly found the smell. I totally bleached the tray after.
