How Can You Tell Whose Septic Tank Is Stinking Up the Neighborhood?

Someone in our neighborhood has a septic issue. Last night I opened the door to see what the weather was like, and the air smelled so disgusting that I had to shut it super fast. The smell lingered in our house for like 5 minutes! Is there a way to tell whose tank stanks?
If it’s not a septic tank, it’s a dead sunk covered in poo. It’s not noticable all the time- usually early in the morning or late at night. I know it’s not ours- our grass sucks.

    They will have the best looking green grass in the neighborhood and the grass is usually wet. We had this problem at home when I was young. The grass grew taller in this area and until it was fixed it was always wet.

    The one backing up will have most likely water or damp ground above where the tank is.

    If you walk around you may see water standing or at least wet over the septic area. And the smell should be worst the closer you get.

    Of course it will not just go away, could it have been a skunk or other items of "country air"

    assuming this is a rural area because it has septic tanks

    They are going to know about it. If it just started be patient. You will see the septic tank truck arrive soon.
