1 Answer

Answer :

answer:No. I would rather find the source of the smell and get rid of that. I am sure you have them where you are, but I don’t get these air freshener things that at regular intervals give a spray of air freshener (or worse insecticide!) to get rid of smells or bugs. Why would anyone want to do that to the air they breath?
