Ugh, we have this skunk around here where I live. And a couple of nights a week, it stinks up the place.

It's nice out tonight. I want the windows open.

NOPE.....!!! :furious: :sad2:

Animal control removed a family of foxes from behind our houses. I wish someone would move the skunks.

Its almost nauseating.
 
ewww... I'm so sorry. What a way to ruin a wonderful summer night - skunk smell!!
 
Gag. They certainly can turn your stomach.

Is there something you can do to scare them/keep them away?
 
Could be worse ... your two cocker spaniels could have found it....Like ours did last Friday night. We spent much time with each dog in the wading pool with baby shampoo and then with tomato juice. Sigh.

Funny thing -- we live in as residential an area as could possibly be (close to a major traffic intersection).
 

Oooh, I was watching an episode of Mythbusters about skunks last night. Tomato juice does work, but there is a second home remedy that they proved worked: a combination of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap. They said that the hyperoxyenization of the combination of products got rid of the smell better than anything else they tried.

Here's another point they made last night: The stink gland only spits about 1 oz. of the fluid, and a skunk can only reload about once a week. So, I'm guessing you probably have more than one skunk.
 
More than one? GREAT!!!! :rolleyes:

Mythbusters, great show by the way. :teeth:
