Default Septic vent odor question

What's the best way of dealing with odor from the vent pipe of a
septic system? I've been told to flush down some additives to get bio
activity up, and I've also heard of carbon filters to put on the vent
pipe.

Anybody know how to handle this?

Gracias

Rid-X from the hardware store always works for me.

If it is a mechanical plant, have your air pump repaired.

dont know if this works for odors, but was told by someone who has a
ceptic tank system that his father in law told him to take a pound of
ground beef and let it sit out in the sun for a day and then flush it
down the toilet... i guess this is to get the bio to start degrading???
dont know, but it might work..
