I have a foul smell coming from my kitchen sink waste.
I understand you can have an antivac for bathroom sinks. Is it possible to have similar for kitchen sinks
 
Hi. If its occasional? it likley to be the trap syphoning out, either by self of by other wastes discharging. Before major works check that diswashers /washing machines etc are not causing the problem.
 
Check the trap bro! The water level may be too low or non existent?
 
Presumably it's not something stupidly simple like the U-bend being blocked up a bit? Might be worth undoing it and cleaning it out.
