rat poison gone... now what??

Question

we seam to have a rat infestation going on under the house.... there is a small tunnel from our garden going under the house. a man came out yesterday from the council and put 5 blocks of poison into the hole, said he would be back next week to check on the poison... but told me to watch it because if they die under the house.... there is guna be an awful stink and alot of flys. so now im freaked out!! he told me to contact my landlord about this because its a private rent and he cant do anymore for me. so i checked this morning... all the poison is gone! so im guessing the rats dragged it under the house to feast on..... iv recently found out its down to me to sort this mess out not my landlord!! who seams to have vanished off the face of the earth anyways. so what do i do now???? i called up a company for pest control and he said if we start ripping up floor boards the rats will run off into the walls and make the problem worse... he said they might not stink the house out. a man with many years experience is telling me dead rats are not going to smell.... how is that??
seriously what do i do now?

We once had a new roof assembled on the top of our block of flats, a bird must have become trapped and died of starvation because the flies flew around for several days; no worries because the lava of the flies eat the flesh then mature and fly off as there is no food left leaving the place nice and clean ( there is a use for flies after all) 
By the time your landlord acts you can be sure the problem would have solved itself.

In the heat of the summer you are likely to get flies and smell.  It won't be so bad during the cold.
