Been There done that... .
I run a Property Litterally from Maintenance , Budgeting , to Battling the urge to call it quits, and was called out to a sister property for a "Mysterious spot in the ceiling" So I went upstairs to the Apt above and rang the bell ... ... . No answer but I smelled Something ... ... . Kinda just thought it was the leaves in the gutters ... . no big deal. Got the keys and proceeded to enter when the door opened it was like a hit from Tyson! The people (college students) Bailed on the apt the day they paid their rent and left the fridge FULL of Food. well after the power Co wasn't paid they shut off the power and you can see wher this is going. The office was going to check up on them 'cause after the 6th week and no check they scheduled a courtesy call for the next day (The day after the "Mysterious spot call I got") But we were the unfortunate souls to beat them to the punch.
Anyways Same deal with the fridge ... ... ... ONLY... ... ... ... the decomposing matter had turned into a Nasty oil~Like substance that had poured out on the floor because the fridge BURSTED open from the maggot population henceforth the door poping open and leaking this wicked instant vomit inducing wretch fluid that made it's way thru a crack in the floor and you can figure out the rest.
Well we contracted out a company that deals with Homocide & Scuicide cleanup ..... Basicly Forensic specialists that can contain and dispose of stuff like this. After the main cleanup we then Tore out the subfloor and had them clean the trussways and things beneath (Including the apartment below hust as a safty thing).
GUESS WHO got the lucky job of the fridge transport and subflooring ... ... . Ding ding ding ding Me me me! The Hazmat crew used this wicked cool purpleish gell like fluid on everything and it Kills Virtually ALL harmfull bacteria , disease , germs ... . the works on everything but it didn't get everything ..... well Maggots secreet an acidic enzyme that litterally will eat thru aluminium , and will corrode copper. So the walls of the fridge had tiny holes in it on the INSIDE ... ... ... ... ... . Yep between the layers of fridge walls were still a million more of 'em. (I am getting sick again) so we rolled the fridge on the truck not knowing this and when we got to the trash house the bed of the truck was teaming with 'em. (B. T. W This wasn't my truck it was the site truck) So dave ran and got this wicked titanium supermental type garden type sprayer Filled with this hornet spray and litterally Doused the truck in the stuff (Including the fridge) with what had to be 20 gallons of killer and the whole truck and fridge sat for the night until the "Brave Guy" could take it Straight to the dump instaed of at our T~Unit.
