Any suggestions??
Oh- and living them outside isn't really an option as I live in the city and am without my own yard. |
Ocassionally, we've brought back some that have been too recently inhabited. On a couple, the only thing that we've found that works is lots of sunlight outside. I remember one that took about two weeks outside to be odor-free. (I'm always careful that there is no living creatures still using the "house" of course, but if they've recently been inhabited, they can sure stink!)
But stinky or not, I'm jealous that you've been to the beach already this year!!
