After landing today I noted that the smell was still just as putrid as it
was last Thursday night. How long does it take for a mouse body to
decompose past the point of the nasty odor?

I had a mouse make his nest in the starboard exhaust pipe on my Honda
Goldwing, one winter.

He apparently died in there, and when I started up the cycle in the spring I
was greeted with all sorts of stuff shooting out of that pipe -- including
the mostly-mummified body of the stupid rodent.

How in the HELL it climbed up into that hole is still a mystery. They can
get anywhere.
