    First off why are u using air fresheners from 1980 .. hanging them off the door is not the best spot for them.. they were designed to hang off the mirror because they are oil based . I would recommend the vent clip ones they work great and are less noticeable.

    Scrap the air freshers!!! Grab a cabin air filter with carbon to absorb the smells. Replace it as needed.

    Also my farts are scent markers letting others know who the truck belongs too!!

    I started using the little tree brand air fresheners that wrap around the vent slats. So far so good and they last along longer than the actual trees.

    I park in the carport on the farm. If windows are left open overnight, truck will be full of bees, ants, flies and mosquitos.
    I do crack open the rear window at work (in town), that gives truck 9-10 hours to air out.

    DDT bug spray and some types of sunscreen will destroy plastic trim like that also.

    Be careful

    I always thought the sole purpose of those pine trees was to mask weed smell from your blunts. If you are farting so much that it stinks up your car, you should probably see a gastro enterologist.

    Y'all realize we're surrounded by petroleum by products and chemicals and an air freshener is the least of our concerns. Folks consuming processed food and living sedentary lifestyles are scoffing at an air freshener.

    I don't air freshener my truck because periodic cleaning and wiping down the interior keeps it fresh.

    It's a chemical reaction between 2 reactive surfaces.

    Anyone remember bug spray destroying the plastic furniture on the British Army's original version of the SA80? It's a bad choice of materials.

    Nearly everything in our modern environment is carcinogenic. We all have micro plastics permanently infused into our soft tissues: brain, nerves, blood vessels..everywhere

    Sure.

    But why add more garbage into our system.

    This is why I moved to a rural area and get most of my food from the farms and local lakes.

    The tinfoil hats have a better chance of giving someone cancer than an air freshener.

    Woah that's wild to see! Usually use treefrog squash but good to know to really stay away from those types of air freshners
