You're right, It is not always effective. It may reduce the smell but it does not really get rid of the smell. The tomato juice's purpose is only to mask the smell.

Liebling - You don't know how lucky you are for never getting a chance to smell the skunk's spray. It is hard to describe how it smells. Let's think of it like a powerful smell that you really could not stand. I guess, it would be like a combination of a rotten egg with some old foods that are left in the trash. Well, It's more like smelling a dead/decaying animal that has been laid out there for days and days. Ugh!

skunks have been growing, too many around in my hometown. crap! one time, i came home late at night. Good thing I had a cars headlight were on when i drove into the driveway, and the skunk was pretty close to me! whew i had to stay in my car for a few minutes to make sure the skunk ran away so far from me. I couldnt see in the back without light on so i took my risk to run into my home. :shock:

No, I NEVER have any experience like that in my life but saw skunks at Zoo, that´s all. We only have foxes, boars, deers, eagles, Hare, squirrels, hedgehodge etc. everywhere here in Germany.
 
The skunk is not under the house anymore. But it does hang around. I smell it on and off now.
 
Well, if all else fails, get a dog.

Oh?!?

Poor dog!

Skunk still hangs around. Hubby set up some traps and baited it with Tuna :lol: See what we can catch.

Prolly the neighborhood cats!
 
Well......



Not fun having your daughter waking you up to say that the skunk is in her room. :shock:

I went to take a peek, thinking my daughter must be having a dream! I opened her door to only slam it shut, when I seen what was NOT my cat!!! In between her TV stand and desk.

Called hubby to look!! In disbelief he saw the critter. Asked me what can we do!!

I just started laughing uncontrollably!! Told him. "no idea".

Before I know it hubby went outside to the boat. He grabbed his fishing net! "looked like a dog catcher" while he was holding it over his head. He gave out a grin. Me and the kids looked at each other and laughed.

He bravely opened the door!

And caught the little bastard!!

I can only tell you. My daughter's room is inhabitant for a while!! And the skunk is gone!

Now... As I am typing this, every window in our house is opened!

Husband pleased with himself that he finally got rid of the skunk!! But at the end I think the skunk won!!

The smell is indescribable!!

He was inside!! Don't ask me how! I did leave the door cracked for about 10 min. Before I went to bed as usual, so the dogs can do their business. We think that is when the skunk slipped in.
 
Wow. Skunk was smart enough to slip in for a few minutes. gosh! guess skunk had been hanging out in your house all night. :giggle: i wonder where have your cat been around when skunk was inside? LOL
 
Very few times, I stood near many wild skunks as possible 12 skunks. I feed them with my grape. Just 2 feet away from me. They did not spray on me. Never happen to me. Just careful with skunks. Please do not try yourself at home unless you are professional.

You need put grape on track to wood. Then you need to fix up to prevent any wild animals enter your house or shed.

Best way to call animal control. They will take care for you.
