Foul stench in car leads to discovery of unwelcome visitors

Cars have a great amount of small and cramped spaces that can easily serve as hiding spots for various unwelcome creatures and critters.

Animals getting inside a vehicle is a pretty common occurrence yet in many cases, vehicle owners remain unaware until a foul smell begins to permeate the inside of their vehicle.

Such was the experience of a woman in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, not long ago. In a TikTok video uploaded by Baihaki Automotive, it was said that this woman had visited their workshop to investigate the source of an unpleasant odour in her car.

According to the video, the stench was so nauseating that one of the workshop staff nearly fainted from it.

This, however, did not deter them from uncovering the source of the smell. After two days of dismantling the poor car, they finally discovered the true origin of the repugnant aroma.

It turned out that a family of squirrels had made themselves quite comfortable, nesting within the left side of the car’s frame. They had to use a borescope camera just to have a peek into the space.

Baihaki Automotive revealed that the unpleasant smell was actually caused by a decomposing squirrel left in that confined area.

Such unfortunate incidents can happen to anyone, especially those who leave their cars parked outside their homes.

Fortunately, there are several steps that can be taken to prevent such occurrences. These include parking your car in a garage, closing all windows securely, and ensuring that no rubbish or food is left inside the vehicle.
