We have a skunk We have a skunk :eek: me and my dad pulled into the driveway last night to see something crawling under his big garage shed thing which is right next to the house so we sat for a minute and watched a skunk crawl out. First time I have ever seen a live one and I don’t want it spraying me or my pups. Any ideas of how to get rid of him and keep them away? We have three acres and also have a ground hog that bothers no one and he stays toward the back of our property so I don’t really want him gone but the skunk for sure. We also have lots of bunnies and I don’t want them to either. Any ideas would be appreciated. |
Can you block the garage shed opening with cinder blocks or pavers. You have to block off the entrance even if that means doing the entire shed. This has to be just before dark to make sure you are not trapping it in, skunks comes out just before it gets dark. What you do not want is for one of your pups to get sprayed. One of my girls got sprayed in the face while on a camping trip, the smell took my breathe away. Even with tomatoes juice bath the smell was not as strong but more bearable, next day off to a groomer, she came back with no stinky but the hair around her eyes still had a strong smell when you got close to her face, until that hair grew and could be cut off. She was called stinky pee-yew for months lol. If someone in your family has a bird feeder out, bird seed attracts skunks. |

We also had a big Australian Shepard/Lab mix who got sprayed during the early evening. We did not have any tomato juice in the house, but did have a gallon jug of white vinegar. We carefully poured the vinegar down his back, and combed it through his coat, then rinsed, rinsed, rinsed. It took the smell out completely, and did not bother his skin or coat. |
Massingil also gets rid of skunk smell. It doesn’t stain white in the coat either. Gew |
Call your local animal control. They will come and set a trap. We just had to do that for a family of raccoons that moved under our shed. They told us they would be relocated |

You can hire someone that will set a trap out to catch this skunk, they will relocate it. You can check Home Advisor, Angies list even craigs list, or google wild life removal. Can't take the bunnies home away from them. |

I know what you mean about the ground hog, we have a resident one that hangs out behind my house, chubby lil fellow but fast lol. |

The poor squirrels must have been frantic being trapped like that. I have to keep your experience in mind in case anyone I know wants to do their own trapping of wildlife. |
