How long does it take for a hamster to decompose. She died in the car and there is no way to get her out. We have tried everything. Can't drive the car it's so bad and trying to figure out how long this will go on. Thanks from a very brokenhearted Mom.

Dear Ebzaar, Thanks for the help. Unfort, I can't get to where she is. She's inside the dashboard somewhere. I saw advice about putting an onion to absorb the smell. Ever hear about that?

I'm so sorry this happened to you. We've had mice die in our walls and even a snake, once. And my parents had a skunk die under their vacation home! The mice don't stay 'smelly' for too long if the weather is warm and dry. But if it gets humid, it takes longer. I'd say that two weeks would be enough time to wait for no smell. But you might be able to make it go quicker by using a dehumidifier or running the air conditioner in the car. You just want the body to dry up and be dessicated. Hope this helps a little.

Take the car to the shop and pay to have it removed. The stench can permeate whatever it is laying on.
