Critter in ac duct

Thought it was under the sink area, so sealed it up good with stell wool etc. 2 days now hearing it thrash around randomly. Last night thought it was gonna fall out my vents, it was right over sleeping qrts. hear nothing for a while now, should i be expecting a dead animal smell soon? Any advice on how to get it out before? Yikes!!!

If you can gain access into the duct, put a glue trap in there. You can cut the board can be cut to fit in the duct.

If it's expired you are in for a couple weeks of stink. Don't ask me how I know.
Maybe take the nearest vent off and blow the corpse from the other side with compressed air before it gets juicy!

Maybe the critter was just walking on the roof. If the duct is suspected use mouse trap with a psc. rope.

And how the heck can it get in there? All night long, very loud, sounded HUGE, is it possible to get in from underneath my rig? and find its way up? Just went on roof to inspect and it looks pretty sealed up! Hmm???

Crawls up on one of the vent pipes from the underbelly or up the wiring chase. Squirrels have been known to do that.
