In the future, perhaps you could take it to whoever's in charge of college housing if she won't pay any attention to you? Hopefully it won't come down to that as it's much better that you resolve it between yourselves as you did, but just in case things get really bad they should have some rules in the contract about hygiene in communal areas, and as it could encourage flies and rats, they'd probably be able to enforce it by threatening to terminate her contract. Not the nicest way to solve it, but if it happened again then it's not fair to you or the other roommates to live with someone else's mess.
