Getting rid of a skunk.

Le mardi 2 octobre 2001 14:30:15 UTC, amcgr a écrit*:
A skunk has taken up residence under my back porch. The porch is 8" off
the ground and quite large. There is a wall from the top of the floor to the
ground. We had a skunk under there last year, and I hired an exterminator
to try and trap the beast. It cost me $150 for a week and all I caught were
some outraged neighbourhood cats. Last year's skunk eventually moved away..
I tried blocking the entrance this year, but the skunk simply dug
himself a entryway at the side.
Is there something that I can pour through the cracks in the floor that
will convince Mr. Skunk to move out? Moth ball flakes? Ammonia? Rock Music?

The knowledge of the regular contributors to this newsgroup never ceases
to amaze me, but it is a "uk" = United Kingdom newsgroup and I suspect
there will be more expertise in skunk removal on your side of the Atlantic.

Have you tried Googling, by the way?

Here's to a skunk-free future.

Except that the original post was over twelve years ago so I suspect
that the skunk in question has either died, moved on or multiplied
profusely by now.

I don't know why it was reposted in its entirety though.
