The smell was such a problem that allsorts of vermin were attracted to where they ended up. They struggled to remove the intruders. In the end, they had to call in RentoKIL, BURNing a hole in their budget.

When he arrived, the group pointed out the rat they'd seen. It was huge! "I'm afraid we can't kill that," he said. "That's not just any rat, it's the GREAT KING RAT!"
(A bit literal, but it seemed an obvious way to go.)
