Is there any kind of carbon filter that doesnt need a hole putting in the wall?

Just make your own. A 5 gallon bucket works good. Just put it in the middle of the room. The problem is you still need an exhaust vent somewhere and if you have an exhaust vent some of the smell is going to escape there.

Well you have to have some sort of inline fan attached to the carbon filter to actually vacuum up the existing air then it gets treated in the carbon filter then it gets expelled to the outside. You may wanna take a look at ductless sytems but I am not sure if there cfm suffices for odor extraction and treatment. Might wanna just invest in some ona gel or ona spray.
