Mothballs, they don't like the smell. Roll them into a corner, or throw them
under the foundation. Al "Richard Lamb" wrote in message ... Any suggestions on how to keep skunks out of the hanger??? Richard |

Any suggestions on how to keep skunks out of the hanger???
--------------------------------------------------- Pretty near hopeless. They're dumber than chickens. I've tried the moth balls and ****ing on the path they usually follow but the only thing that actually worked was blocking their access. They don't like to climb (at least, not the two varieties we have here in San Diego county [stripped & spotted]). Anothing about knee high, even a sheet of plastic or piece of cardboard, seems to discourage them. -R.S.Hoover PS -- the moth balls seem to be effectice against possoms. |

We were talking about getting rid of skunks while at work a few weeks
ago and an acquaintance said he and his dad stumbled on to something that was working. They raise quail and skunks were getting into the pens and giving them fits. They'd been using live traps baited with sardines to capture and remove the critters. One day they run out of sardines and Dad is sent to the local grocery to pick up more. The grocery store was out of them too. Dad grabs the closest thing he can think if on a whim and shows back up at the farm with a can of salmon patties. My acquaintance teased him to no end, but they thought "what the hell"! They bait the trap with it and shortly thereafter find a skunk inside that is already dead. They find other skunks nearby in the following days that had grabbed the bait and escaped the trap without tripping the door closed. Dead as a door nail! He wasn't sure what was happening. I surmised that possibly the bones in the patties were lodging in some vulnerable skunk organ or something. Either that or he's pulling my leg sumpin' fierce and I'm just dumb enough to pass this on. If you try it and it works I'd like some feedback. Hell even if it doesn't work I'd like some feedback. At least that way I'll know I've been had and I got you guys too!

I couldn't legally kill them - and with the neighbors so close, the only way I could have safely killed them was with poison, and then the meat would have been worthless, etc. I tried cayenne pepper, mint, mothballs. "Deer repellant" seemed to attract them. Finally I flashed on the idea of getting something that they'd be afraid of. The local zoo has tigers, I have a contact that raises money for them - a few handfulls of straw soaked with tiger **** spread around and they haven't been back. Maybe that would work with skunks. Or wolf ****. |
