How Do I Deodorize Under My House?

Odors beneath your home can be particularly challenging to eliminate. Here are some effective methods:

Identify the source: Use the steps outlined above to locate the odor source. Once identified, address the root cause, such as removing dead rodents or fixing sewage leaks.

Ventilate the area: Open windows and doors to circulate fresh air and disperse the odor. Use fans to enhance ventilation and remove moisture.

Absorb odors: Place bowls filled with baking soda, activated charcoal, or odor-absorbing crystals under your house. These substances absorb and neutralize odors.

Clean and disinfect: Thoroughly clean surfaces with a disinfectant cleaner to kill bacteria and remove odor-causing microorganisms.
