Yank Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I had a skunk take up residence under my shed. Slight odor wafting about. I went on the net to research. I tried moth balls, Critter-Ridder, cayenne pepper and a drop light poked under. Nothing worked. Finally I had the idea of turning a rock station on the radio, turning it up loud and putting it face down on the floor of the shed, covered up with an insulated cooler and blankets so the neibors wouldn't hear. Left it on all day while he was trying to sleep. After a week, I finally noticed no odor while "Come On Eileen" was blasting. Even a skunk has a limit to what he'll put up with.

ambient Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I’ve always thought they looked quite cute. Never seen one in real life though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 There was a shop near me that sold them as pets (glands removed apparently) along with racoons and meerkats. All clearly wholly unsuitable as pets. Shop closed down within a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 There are plenty of people, me included, who can't cope with "Come On Eileen"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Trust me, it isn`t SEEING them that is unpleasant. You can smell a skunk out on the highway long after it has sprayed and gone. even worse if you have a Loudon Wainwright moment and the stripey little sucker is roadkill...
