This is a tried and true method. It will work. Our neighbor had a skunk and of course we got to share the joys of its presence. It had crawled under their house and made himself at home. My husband told him to get his kid's portable stereo and borrow some of his heavy metal rock music (or anything equally as obnoxious)and to place it so that it blasted where the skunk liked to stay. Then turn on the rock music and blast it as loud as possible. Go away and leave it on for a bit - don't know maybe an hour or less. Anyway - the skunk moved out from under the neighbors house and never came back nor did another come in all the years after that we lived there - over 15. Give it a try - what can it hurt. We know it worked once and it was passed on to us by someone that had tried it and had success also! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things to consider is there may be a fiood source that is drawing them...could be your trash or the neighbor's ...or even just beetle larvae in the lawn...they really like those and in a sense are doing you a favor by getting rid of them... first try to eliminate all food sources and habitat...places they may sleep in during the day...like brush piles... you could try to set a havahart trap...and then wear trash bags as clothes to get it or call animal control...they need to be let go at quite a distance as many animals seem to have built in GPS and may find their way back to your locale... you could try spraying the area w/ a mixture of blendered garlic and hot peppers w/ a bit of dishsoap and cooking oil...but no guarantees it will work... Best wishes...hoping others also have some ideas.... d If they are getting into the trash spray some bleach on the stuff. That sure keeps dogs away.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Whenever we have skunk problems, I have my brother bring over his wolf-dogs and let them mark their territory. The skunks leave right away.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 There are certain automotive fluids that taste good to dogs but are deadly poisonous. I think transmission fluid is one. Mechanics know how many days a dog has to live if he ingests these substances.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yes, definitely don't poison the poor animal! That is cruel and dangerous for other animals. The skunk is a nice animal and so cute except for the stinky parts. Also, what if it has babies somewhere? You wouldn't want to kill a nursing mother! I'd try the loud, obnoxious music. That sounds like it has worked well in the past for at least two others. I would think a good Tomcat would also protect their territory and send a skunk packing. If all else fails I would call the animal control people. As long as they don't kill it.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I just jumped in on this post about the skunk. I have trapped several skunk this past year and thought I would share what happened. We have chickens. I have a hav a hart trap. I caught a skunk. I got a bed sheet, held it up over my head and walked slowly toward the skunk in the trap. This prevents the skunk from seeing me and spraying me. The sheet was a shield from head to toe to HIDE from the skunk. I gently let the sheet down to drape over the trap and left one end slightly open. Later in the day I found the skunk sleeping and fired 3 shots. Making sure I HIT the skunk I removed the skunk into the woods and the buzzards ate it! End os the skunk.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Yeah for the skunk people~ send your skunk to ME. lolol I get ate up by Japanese beetles every year...they cover EVERYTHING. I did see on tv that you can get this dirt stuff and put in your ground and after a couple of years, they will never come back and its all natural. I am an avid nature lover, but German roaches and Japanese beetles are on my hit list. I gave them the option to leave. (not roaches, I don't have them) see me...I would be trying to befriend the skunk person.....but then... some say I am not right. lolol s > japanese beetles do have a predator...in the larvae stage...skunks > love to eat them... believe it or not...its true... > > --- On Thu, 9/24/09, seer <1seer7 wrote: > >> seer <1seer7 >> Re: {Herbal Remedies} Re: skunk in yard To: >> herbal remedies Thursday, September 24, >> 2009, 8:28 PM >> >> >> Poor skunk person. > Every creature has a purpose in this world and > the right to live.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Poor little harmless but smelly skunk. Are they trouble with chickens? My chickens go back in their coop at night and my husband locks the door. We have the occasional raccoon wonder in the yard to keep out of the coop. What's the point of a havahart trap to capture it live to only kill it in the end? I personally would have put a plastic bag over it and me, then let it free in the woods and ran as fast as I could. I ran smack dab into a skunk once and we both ran the opposite directions as fast as we could. Nobody got hurt. But that's what I learned from my Dad who grew up on a farm and was a skilled hunter. He said never kill anything unless you plan to eat it. Mice and rats are different. We try to seal off the house so mice can't get in but sometimes they do and we have to trap them.
