Skunks
The size of a cat or smaller with long fur and bushy tails, skunks are easily identified by their distinctive black and white coloration. These near-sighted omnivores have a hearty appetite for grubs and insect pests, and have also been known to consume mice and small rats. They are members of the Mustelid family, which also includes weasels, martens, and badgers. Skunks are found throughout North America, with only one species found in Asia.

How does a skunk produce its odor?
That ghastly spray is the skunk's best defense and, boy, does it work! No creature, human, or beast, can stand being near a skunk with that odor. It comes from a fluid called musk which is produced and stored in a pair of glands under the animal's tail. A skunk can propel the spray about 10 feet!

that's tough, you have to try to isolate the area from the attic. the smell will be completely gone when the carcass dries out.

Many hardware stores also have odor control products.
