MAJOR SKUNK GRUMPAGE..

[Raven]

i sure don't miss -em... where i used to live the "house" so to speak....would get sprayed almost weekly.....i couldnt shut the windows fast enough...it was like biological warfare...i was spraying them with the garden hose everytime i caught them in the yard....then one morning while sitting on my raised deck i noticed a shimmering in the bushes near the base of a tree...within fifty feet. ....it was skunk babies..eight in all plus the momma exiting their den for a neighborhood stroll....so as soon as they left , i shoved a garden hose in it and flooded it so they wouldnt like it anymore...and they never returned.

my point is: there's a den nearby...and
they dont seem to travel to far from it.
finding it......... is the answer.

Pour some tomato juice in a bowl, and see if they will drink it.

I had a dog get sprayed in the face once. He swallowed some, and the smell just stayed with him. Then he started 'coughing' and the vet told me to get him to drink some.

The spray is kinda oily. so any acid will work. vinegar and water or tomato juice works great.

If the dog got it in the face, take your time and clean the ears well - that is where some lingering odor may stay trapped.

EVERYTHING OUT THERE GOT COVERED.. THE TRASHBARRELS AND TODAY WAS TRASH DAY. SO OUT COMES THE CONCOCTION AGAIN TO CLEAN MY HANDS.. GRRRRRRRR..

THE DOG IS DOING BETTER BUT GOING TO THE GROOMER ON SAT FOR A SHAVE.. AND I KNOW WHERE THE DEN IS.. UNDER MY NEIGHBORS BACK PORCH.. AND I CAN'T CONVINCE HIM (HES A WIMP). TO SMOKE OR FLOOD THEM OUT..

I'LL LAUGH LIKE HELL WHEN ONE OF HIS KIDS GETS SPRAYED.. I AM BUILDING A BETTER BARRIER AT THE BOTTOM OF MY FENCE.. THEY CAN'T DIG THRU PAVEMENT AND PT.. THE FENCE WAS CURLED UP WHERE HE CAME THRU. NEVER AGAIN.. LUCKILY I LIVE IN THE CITY AND EVERYTHING HAS CONCRETE OR PAVEMENT AROUND IT..

i'll have to search for the bb gun next.. or a wrist rocket.

For some sick reason I thought of you Crash

For the record they will not stop digging. I pulled like 9 of them out of my yard at the old house, and if you stop up where they wanna go they WILL find a way around it. And I can tell you they are persistent bastards.
Cat Food or tuna fish in a trap wrapped in a old pillow case....this way they can't see you when you dunk them in the 30 gallon bucket of water
