The dogs got them scared and they all sprayed. Hubby killed them got the tractor out and scooped up all the dirt and I (in my jammies) was leaving home. On foot. Lol. And very sick from all the spraying. Kids never woke up with all the shooting. The neighbors thought we had a war going on our little hill. Did I mention this was before we had ac so we had to have the windows open. Worst night ever!Angela Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10467596576898885711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312158.post-45735145913303133572013-08-20T20:28:07.765-07:002013-08-20T20:28:07.765-07:00We had one spray under our bedroom window for a fe...We had one spray under our bedroom window for a few nights, but he also made himself known during the day when we had contractors working around here, maybe disturbing his sleep. My husband spent some time googling how to get rid of him and found some creative ways, but fortunately the skunk left on his own.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04238316169553116401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312158.post-82682793761581719972013-08-20T19:50:15.931-07:002013-08-20T19:50:15.931-07:00We shot a skunk out of our basement once.

Have you tried nailing up carpet tacking around the place where the skunk is stealing the eggs? The sharp points would deter it. You may want to nail down carpet tacking to the entrance of your bee hives, too. Skunks LOVE to eat bees at night. They scratch on the entrance to the hive and eat the bees as they come to the opening. You can lose a hive pretty quick that way.Corn and Winehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666944456262274401noreply@blogger.com
