The smell could indicate a problem. We came home from a trip to the mountains a couple years ago with three in the RV and one in the tow car. The strips worked on the ones in the RV but the one in the Mini Cooper was a stealthy little sucker. I opened the rear hatch one day about three weeks later and there he was laying in plain sight. He was approximately 2 inches long including the tail but from the smell you would have thought he weighed 15 pounds. To this day when it gets warm outside you can still get some residual smell and I can assure you we've tried everything.

Were you ever able to find out how they got in the duct work in the first place?

Had one in a previous toad and the only way to get rid of the smell was to sell the car in the winter.
