There are some industrial odor eliminator products that work (although Febreze is pretty effective for a home product) that are used by hotels to get rid of smoking and other odors. Check with a local commercial cleaning supply company.

If you don't like killing 'em, Havahart makes humane box traps. There is a risk that you or some family member will want to keep them as pets, though. Peanut butter is good bait.
I found a nest of wrens in my '60 Merc glove box. Hopefully they've grown up and flown away by now, so I can go back to stripping parts off it.

Mice and rats are crafty little things. Food for thought:like cats, they can squeeze through any hole their head can fit through, the rest of their body can compress.
You can knock them out with dry-ice. Drop a couple of pieces in a bucket of warm water and set it in the seat. The CO2 from the ice, forces the Oxygen out slowly putting them to sleep. (I use to work in a reaserch lab that did it that way.) Your door seals will have to be pretty good, to keep the gas in. The only down side is you will have to find the carcasses, or else you will have a completely different kind of the smell on your hands.
