I was woken up last night by a strong skunk smell and it was coming in all the windows so I had to get up and close everything up. It was not coming from the road but probably the back yard.
I just went down to get the hav-a-hart out of the water and empty the skunk out of it. It was not as difficult or as smelly as I expected. I used a rake to grab the towel on top of it and then the rake to grab the trap. The trap opened easily and I dumped out the body and tossed it across the street. Out of smell range.
Then I went back to the barn to reset it and I walked in with the dogs and looked in at the small stall where I caught the first one and there was another one there. I backed up quick and called the dogs out. Ok no more dogs in the barn for a while. So I waited for 30 minutes and went back out and it was gone back down the hole it apparently lives in. I reset the trap and joy oh joy I can't wait to catch another one. I'm playing with fire here, but skunks cannot live under my barn.
Maybe you should put something stronger smelling than an egg-cat food or tuna fish !! Good luck !!
