Autozone sells a kit that you spar in your vent down inside, and actually run the ac system. Supposedly it works, never used it. Worth a $20 trip though.
Or just jam $5 worth of the little green trees down there.

Or just shove down a cheap bottle of Old Spice and that Dead Skunk will smell like a French Puddle

Or replace puddle with another word of your choice.

most likely mildew down in the vents. I was gonna suggest something like the autozone spray stuff. Basically anything to disinfect/kill the mildew.

and run your ac more often, to keep the ducting dried out.
