Not shit, surströmming is fermented herring that smells of sulphur.

A few cans popped open and poured down would probably be strong enough to get through filters.

Also mink piss is a long term stench. There was a mink farm on next to the acre I grew up on and even though it had not been in operation and the buildings were all gone, two decades later when it rained all you could smell was mink piss/gland secretions.

Sounds like a fun place to live next to.

I think I got so used to it that I didn't even notice it. Once I moved away my parents sold the house and I've only passed by twice in the 25 years since they moved.

Now there is probably 50 townhouses on my parents old acre and the neighbours few acres has 100 townhouses with no idea why their yards stink when it rains.
