how to take apart these components of Toyota Venza 2022? Need to clean rodent remains
We saw we had a mouse problem and successfully removed one mouse, thought that was the end of it... but it turns out a nest was left behind.
Indeed we did find and remove another source of the smell, but there are still remains trapped down in the crevices of the back seat (rear bench) cushion frame (?). It is becoming putrid and is probably a health hazard by now.
I have done my research and yes, cabin air filter and the hybrid battery cooling filters have been checked and exonerated.
Before paying the big bucks for the big skills, I wanted to give it a thorough, attempt, with due diligence.
Pls advise re Toyota Venza 2022 & see linked videos:
- How to safely remove the rear seat cushion frame to access this area?
- Can I safely pour a little Odoban or bleach at a time down into these crevices to neutralize the biohazard, or will that damage wiring or the hybrid elements under/in the metal frame?
I've linked a video below showing exactly where the issue is.

Any advice on teardown or heavy-duty & sustainable odor/biohazard removal would be helpful.
Thank you!
