How do I deodorize under my house?

Crawlspaces are notorious for being damp, musty, and smelly. This is often due to a buildup of mold, mildew, and other moisture-loving organisms. Here are some tips for deodorizing your crawlspace:

• Identify and resolve the source of moisture. This could be a leaky pipe, a clogged drain, or even just high humidity levels in the air.
• Clean the crawlspace thoroughly. Remove any visible mold or mildew, and vacuum or sweep up any debris.
• Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels in the air. This will help to prevent mold and mildew from growing.
• Place activated charcoal bags in the crawlspace. These bags will absorb odors and help to keep the air fresh.
• Open the crawlspace vents to allow for ventilation. This will help to circulate the air and remove odors.
