The skunk is dead....

Oh my gosh, that must have been a job to clean up.

**Flybye** · 07-02-2007, 03:48 PM

Yes, it was. The previous owners were not very clean. We stripped carpet and repainted the entire house.
I thought my parents had lost their mind when we moved out there. It was a 3000 sq ft home on almost 1 acre and they picked it up for $45,000.
They sold it last spring for $210,000.
Pretty fair profit.
They knew what they were doing the whole time.

Unless someone is in imminent danger and there is no other avenue, I cannot in good conscience kill a living thing no matter the degree of perceived grotesqueness or mere inconvenience to me of said thing.

What do you do about ants? Flies? Aphids? Cock Roaches? Mice? Slugs?

since i have cats i have never had mice in the house (excepting a couple of rats the cats brought in) but when I found a mouse in my office, i caught it and carried it outside and let it go.

insects? (biting insects, roaches)
Slugs?

Because it has an essential role in the ecology of the forum

I can't believe this thread is still here!

If we surround it in butterflies, will it stink less?

Slugs? I set out beer for them. The cheap stuff of course, the Drakes Blond Ale is for me.

They die happy.

Should leave them a bowl of lemon drops?

Did you know that the smell can linger in your car for up to 6 months after a near proximity spraying?

Gag. Sadly, yes. Several years ago while driving home from class I encountered Skunkzilla waddling in the road. I didn't have time to stop but I was able to position the car so that I drove over it (not squashing type drive over), looked in the rearview mirror and saw it continuing to waddle on its merry way. Pat myself on the back for dodging that bullett...until the next morning when I was leaving for work. Turned the key and as the car got warmer eau de skunk got stronger. And there's nothing you can do about it. Needless to say, nobody wanted to carpool with me.
