Finding "the pee spot"
 

Hi all,

Haven't posted here in years....but anyway, I have question
for you kind folks.

I accidentally locked my female, Bonnie, in my closet for
the whole day. Didn't realize it until she started wailing
and scratching that evening when I returned home from work.
*sigh*

That was several days ago, and now *the smell* has started,
which tells me she peed in the closet whilst trapped - it
just didn't start to get smelly until now.

I have cleared out the closet, but cannot see any obvious
stain in the carpet. So I can't tell where she actually did
the deed. I know I can treat the spot with Nature's Miracle
once I find it, but I certainly can't douse the entire floor
of the closet with the stuff.

I've heard about using a black light or something to make
the pee glow? Is that true? Any advice for me here? My
closet is reeking now! :)

Thanks for any help!

You can find the spot using a blacklight or do it the old fashioned way,
on your hands and knees sniffing for the smell. :-)

Miracle once I find it, but I certainly can't
douse the entire floor of the closet with
the stuff.

IMO Nature's Miracle is not a great product and often needs to be
applied several times to successfully remove odors. A much better one is
Petzyme Cat Stain and Odor Remover, which can be purchased at Petsmart.
It works remarkably well and is very reasonably priced at about $11-$12
a gallon.

Blech. I hope I'm never reduced to this.

ROFL! Somewhere between all the health problems and surgeries I have had, I
have completely lost my sense of smell. I realized this when I was loving on
the dog, and my DH walked up and started gagging and informed he had rolled in
a dead skunk. So now I am *completely and utterly* paranoid about odor in the
house.

Hey, another one! ;-) I lost my sense of smell a couple of Christmases ago,
when I had a whopping great cold. I didn't realize it till a couple of
weeks later when I was in Body & Bath, shopping for my niece's b'day, &
couldn't smell *anything* when I opened 2 of the bottles! Went home &
sniffed vinegar & bleach - nothing at all. Went to an ENT, who checked to
make sure nothing awful - like a brain tumor - was causing it, then he sent
me to a sensory clinic. Got tested for it - tons & tons of samples tested;
~80% gone. A *little* more has returned in the last year or so (I was told
that if it's going to return, it'll do so within two years; after that it's
probably a lost cause), but what I do have is mostly aberrant. I used to
love the smell of beebalm/monarda, for example, which grows in my garden -
but now it smells icky. Can't smell most bad stuff at all, but can't smell
most good stuff, either: lilies & roses, newly-cut grass, for example -
nada. Btw - I can smell skunk just a little - barely a whiff - but it has
a faintly sweet odor now. Not recognizable as "skunk", at all. I just hope
to heaven my garbage doesn't get stinky before garbage night each week -
could be embarrassing visitors, 'cause I'd never know it!
