It gets installed where your drain pipe under the sink is U shaped. The smells are currently able to come up the drain because there is nothing there to block them; the P-trap causes just enough water to remain in the bend of the pipe to stop the odours from coming up. This job is less than one hour of a plumber's time and under $10 in materials. Until you have this done, you can just leave your cold water running -- the tiniest constant stream of water will do the trick. Pouring various products down the drain really won't help because each time the pipe gets dry the odour returns. Call a plumber and have a P-trap installed.

I tried all kinds of things. I think the biggest thing you can do is change the section of piping that is closest to the drain's opening.
