Naproxsyn or advil. If it were me, I'd throw in Benadryl.

So far, nice posts. Very imformative. If you keep up the good work and ignore the username of the guy who made the thread, you might just decide not to let it die.....

That's a good list. My brain's almost dead weight. But, that's what I get for living in my own Teenage Wasteland, I guess. Even though I am a newly-turned eighteen year old only sustaining adulthood for about three-to-four months, now.

AHH yes, every mom's dream..... if only for a few hours.


Have nothing on my mind but getting rid of this stench in my house.... neutra air is crap... can anything get rid of skunk smell??

paintedlady said:

how did a skunk get in your house?

ZombieKitten said:

One of those critters squirted its butt-juice in the yard, now I'm damn near choking. If one got in my house, I'd have to evacuate PRONTO! I'm actually starting to wheeze now.

ZombieKitten said:

paintedlady said:

owls catch skunks?

ZombieKitten said:

Owls are the only predators to skunks far as I know..... owls have no sense of smell




sorry it took me soo long to respond..... passed out form smell
oxygen.....I need oxygen.... still stinks here hours later.

I am getting madder and madder by the minute.

twice my double glazing has been cancelled and he said that he would be here at 2.00pm. Still not arrived. Bloody rude git...I shall give him a piece of my mind when he does eventually turn up!!

I wonder if coyotes have any predators.... other than bullets

umm, xplnyrslf? Kinda wish I had coyotes now.

window repair?

I'm thinking it's been over a month, I'm starting to feel lonely.

Xmas, and how I'm going to afford buying gifts for everyone I want to when I'm basically broke right now.

paintedlady said:

Wolves and mountain lions are their natural predators. I read a Game and Fish book about them years ago. In the past, when they were poisoned, the females put out larger litters of pups, so their #'s didn't change. Poisoning is now banned because of the effect on the food chain and other species.

(I actually wouldn't shoot one. It's against the law within city limits.)

paintedlady said:

I know if you get sprayed by a skunk, or your dog does, tomatoe juice is used to get rid of the scent. You have to take a bath in it. Maybe if you buy a large can, and pour it in the area where it's the strongest, it'll go away?

CarrieMpls said:

During this time there is always someone else to buy for.... its too easy to spend too much money, and I always try to keep it simple. Not that it helps much
Fun shopping to you, I'm sure you'll find a creative solution for all the gift giving ya gotta do

paintedlady said:

People post the blow-up fake ones on the roofs of their houses. It does the trick. The animals think it's real.

xplnyrslf said:

Our pitt got sprayed three years ago...and all the tomato juice we used didn't even put a dent in the smell.... well it worked for the dog, but we had to replace the carpet and couches... our dog cried for over two hours... I cried for days

xplnyrslf said:

I'll have to do that... my next door neighbor has a stone owl on her porch.. (its cute), now I know why

I googled it. This link says tomatoe juice doesn't work, but I know people who swear by it.

Here is the secret recipe that WORKS. Mix the following:

1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent
Mix these together and bathe ("shampoo" in or rub down) the spray victim thoroughly.
Be sure to use this mixture immediately after it is created, as it is unstable.
Rinse with tap water afterward, and repeat if necessary.
For spray in the eyes, flush with water as soon as possible.

Another link had this:
Wash colorfast inanimate objects ( buildings, decks, etc.) that have been sprayed with one cup of liquid laundry bleach per gallon of water. CAUTION - THIS MAY BLEACH THE BUILDINGS, DECKS, ETC. Try it on a small area if bleaching may be a problem. The bleach must come in contact with the spot where the secretion was sprayed. Repeated applications may be necessary for large amounts of the skunk spray. DO NOT USE BLEACH ON HUMANS, PETS OR CLOTHING.

The yard:Spray that has drifted over a large area can be neutralized by mixing 1 gallon of clear vinegar and 1 cup of non-foaming cleanser (such as liquid dishwasher soap) in a backpack garden sprayer. Spray down the area with the skunk smell; it will be neutralized on contact.

I just read on one of the goolge links, where someone used Douche on their pitt that had been sprayed. The dog smelled like "summer's eve", instead.....

xplnyrslf said:

You don't have any of those roaming around do you? Talk about going from sugar to shit.

I guess we have to learn to live with our wildlife... I suppose. Thanks for the recipe I wrote it down, and just mixed it, I put it in a squirt bottle... afraid to open my door and go out back.... the stink is still so bad.
