How to Get Rid of a Skunk

[lauramonster]

pest control guy told us to find the entrance/exit hole. 

Fill a large trashcan (that you'll never use again) with water.


Put the have a heart trap at the entrance/exit with cut up apples & peanut butter for bait.

skunk will walk into trap.

(Now here comes the smelly part).  Lift the trap as quickly as you can and drop ass first into the trashcan. the object is for the spray to hit the water - not you!

drain the water & bury the skunk at least 3 feet deep (so dogs don't dig it up).  Don't throw the skunk into the trash can.  the trash collectors will call your phone, leaving a message to let you know they don't pick up that sort of thing up, and it has been deposited BACK into your trash can.  (They're liars - they took all the other possums & skunks - but this one was the smelliest of the bunch).  Now you're still stuck with the skunk, only it's another day riper!!! 

Let us know how you cope!!

In case you need it...how too get rid of skunk smell:

1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (any drugstore)
1/4 cup of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 teaspoon of liquid soap, such as Dawn

Mix and immediately use to scrub yourself (or pets that have been skunked, etc.).

DO NOT STORE THE LEFTOVERS.  Mix a new batch each time.

grover & watson? or dave? 

Grover...when I first adopted him he was covered in skunk smell, fleas, needed all his shots, neutering, also needed a lump removed from his side.  He had never been to a vet in his life. 

His previous owners didn't have a leash or toys for him, fed him whatever food was cheapest at Costco, and kept him chained outside in the driveway.  The times he got loose, he got shot at by neighborhood kids with BB guns.
