My wife is ready to rip out the drywall to hunt for mold, but I would love to avoid that if there are other potential sources of the smell.

Why not use one of those air test kits for mold? If it's mold and you can smell it, the test should come back positive

Didn't know this was a thing, thanks! I will try this next.

Also didn't know termites have a smell. My house is termite treated and regularly sprayed, so I would be surprised if that's it, but I will have it inspected if mold comes back negative.

Both good ideas thank you

I wouldn't use a mold test. There is always mold around and there aren't any set standards on what level is too much. Maybe get a moisture meter, mold has to have moisture.
