If X approaches you and suggests Y, you should always say no if:
X is a professional gambler, a magical creature, or an investment bank

If you're in the house, that's you; if you're not in the house, you don't know who/what is.
Also, you might end up with a minging rotting smell. We've had a couple of tiny mice die in the attic, and the smell even they make decomposing is unbelievably minging.
