    How to get rid of bad smells in crawl space
    When I have my central air conditioning unit on I get a bad smell throughout my house and its driving me crazy. I don't have this problem in the winter and its been going on for about 2 years. I had my heating/air ducts blown out and I still have the smell. My husband went into our crawl space and cleaned it with bleach put pastic on the walls and floor and this has not helped. I don't know who to call to find out what this is and where this smell is coming from. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

    Thank You
