Is there any "scent-free" way to get rid of skunks? They come into our yard every night and dig up the ground looking for food...and they leave their lovely aroma behind! (ha ha) The other morning around 5:30 a.m., when my husband was going out the door to go to work, we saw not one, but TWO skunks, digging away in the yard. Of course if we try to "scare" them away, they'll spray...is there any other way to keep them away? Thanks!

Well if you have a 22 buy some hollow point bullets for it and when they are out there try to not spoke them and get a shot at them from behind with their tails down try to aim for the upper part just below where their spines are. the bullet will travel through the tail busting it up through the guts and into the heart it is a instant kill they can't spray unless their tails are in the air. so by busting it you kill them without them spraying. Works like a charm! Otherwise call a rodent professional to come out and remove them!! Either that or put some food out there with De Con mixed into it.

Aw, are you being a jokester right here, Jack? LOL! ok, i will anticipate the undesirable smell is coming from the neighbor and not in any respect the skunk. If it seems she's to blame of "failure to bathe", provide her a magnificent basket with particularly-smelling soaps on her next visit then gush and gush about how a lot you adore that cleansing soap and that she could attempt it because you imagine she might want to like it, too! If that would not paintings, then in simple terms pull the hues and do not answer the door the subsequent time she comes calling. She could get the hint.

If you don't live close to others, I have heard of using a radio playing loud. I know they make animal repellents to keep animals out of gardens. Maybe this would work.

Cayenne Pepper powder sprinkled in the areas they frequent will drives them away and not hurt your lawn/garden

no just a fence maybe but if you get sprayed you can soak in tomato juice that works

They are beautiful animals. You are fortunate to have them visit you.
