I've never used it, but I was reading about Ona gel and supposedly it is pretty good for controlling odors. It's a bit expensive though. After some looking I found a recipe for homemade gel air fresheners. You basically use gelatin with a mold inhibitor and essential oils. I'm going to give these homemade fresheners a go and I'll report back.
Even though essentail oil is natural and non-toxic, I still wouldn't use it inside a grow room. Below is the recipe.

- Heat 1 cup of distilled water to boiling.
- Stir in 4 packages of unflavored gelatin (e.g., Knox) until dissolved.
- Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the other 1 cup water.
- Add 10-20 drops of essential oil or other concentrated fragrance. If desired, add food coloring to tint your gel. You may also wish to add a mold inhibitor, such as 1-2 T salt OR a small amount of potassium sorbate OR a splash of vodka.
- Pour the gel into clean baby food jars or other small, decorative containers.
- The gel will set at room temperature, although you can place the air fresheners in the refrigerator for a quick set (and scented fridge).
