Here are some links to read about them...they really are harmless creatures.

Weird thing is, they don't spray where they live and I would of never known they were there until that one night I saw them . . .but the dogs know they are there . .. they can't get to the back of the shed because we put a gate up so neither the skunk can get in the back yard and dogs can't get to the skunk(s).

I'll take a possum over a skunk any day. But I prefer neither !! So, he has to go.

We tried mothballs, critter ritter, etc . .. they are immune . . Sooo maybe this Summer we'll once again try to figure out a way to kick them out . . .they haven't paid rent and they've been there for almost a year . .

I just know realized that I put moth balls under the shed this past fall with the hope that the bunnies would move out. I guess they got the eviction notice. I didn't think that by getting rid of the bunnies that that would leave room for a opossum to take up residency.
