Message to self do not buy a 57 Chevy from Rrumbler ....

i had a family of them move in under my mobile home once.

after much deliberation i came up with an idea on how to evict them.
now boys
THIS IS DANGEROUS
i sealed every place i could with duct tape on the skirting to make it as airtight as possible except for the skunks entrance.
then i found a high spot and poured 1/2 gal bleach and 1/2 gal ammonia into the crawlspace under the trailer.

those two liquids combined create chlorine gas. (THE SAME CRAP THAT WAS USED IN WARFARE)
since nothing on earth can live around that stuff.
them skunks came running out .
and i killed em with a rifle.

yep
i hate skunks too.

here kitty, kitty..........................

A couple of years back I found that I had one in the live trap, which is an interesting situation. I did a bit of quick research and found that here in Kansas we have three varieties around, they are "protected" as opposed to "endangered", but that they are also the number one carrier of rabies in the wild. The state advises that if a skunk is trapped it is not to be released, but is to be killed "in a humane manner".

Yeah! Like the skunks are "humane" with us! LOL!

I TOO HATE SKUNKS.
Many years ago I had a '53 Ford with a 312 'Y' block. When that mod was done, you dropped the drag link 3-4 inches to clear the pan (which was modified as well). I digress. I had just left my GF off at college and was on my way to my school through the wilderness of Western NY State. I broke over the top of a hill and came across two 'getting it on' in the middle of my lane. Instant death. Unfortunately, the jilted one was about 100 feet further down the road - got that one too. OMG - another 50 or so miles - stench!!! I took the car over to the school maintenance shop and was able to borrow their big jack to raise the front of the car about 5-6 feet, then spent a couple hours steam cleaning, first of all, a big chunk of smelly carcass wrapped around that drag link, then the entire underside of the car. 90% gone - that is except for damp warm days when a slight odor reappeared as a reminder.

I have another story, but will save it for another day

Did I say I too dislike skunks?

Roger----I suggest doing the "Biden"---double barrel 12 gauge------

Skunks are the worst! Although Skunk oil does wonders with loud non compliant drunk neighbors!

Good Note Pepi, HE! HE! HE!
