one time a rabbit or rat died in the duct work of our swamp coolers, which was under the slab, in the middle of the summer, like a couple years after my parents built that house. No professionals could ever find it. We had to deal with that smell for 2 loving years.

You basically are going to need a full on hazmat suit to clean up that rat and its nest/droppings.

One time, a while after the swamp cooler incident, a rabbit died in the culvert under the exit of the driveway of that house in the middle of the summer. One day there was a faint smell, and then all of a sudden it was just wafting through the swamp coolers and we were going NO, NOT AGAIN.
My brother, dad and I tracked it down on day 4, when it was getting unbelievably rank, and found a liquefying cottontail right at the entrance of one side of the culvert tube. My brother and I then put on N95s and gloves, because my dad is such a baby about smells, and proceeded to scoop it in a shovel and run it to the then-empty acre lot of desert next door.
Both of us threw up on the way, and threw up on the way back after it popped when we tossed it, just from the sheer stench. We were passing the shovel to and from like we were loving Chernobyl liquidators or some poo poo, it was so, so, so bad.

We didn't.
You ever dealt with an animal in a state of decay where the smell permeates everything?
