we actually put skunk scent on us for hunting in utah. smell didn't bug me, but it does bug some. still best to trap it and get it away, and button up your shop.

In the early 70s a family would come each night to my back door in the hills of Westlake Village for peanut butter sandwiches. A 4th of July outdoor party one year did nothing to deter them, but the guest sure went running! I gave them their little treats and off they went. They were very sweet, never threatening.

We're not supposed to feed the wildlife. Actually, it's against the law. Not criticizing, just saying.. :)

Also late 70's, living in the Hollywood Hills,
An older lady occupied the down stair's maid quarters...(she had lived on the property 40+ years!)
We would check up on her occasionally, bring her meals/groceries.
Seems that one winter, she raised a mother and 8 babies...
We walked in one day to see her catering a little skunk tea party, all sitting down calmly on her window-side table. She said that they came in every day, late afternoon - stayed for an hour or so, and then left quietly. I stopped in a few times afterwards, just to see. Interesting that they never sprayed inside her quarters.
Intelligent animals...pretty cool too.

I know two little girls who benefited from Fly Guy Dave's recipe.

They had a little run in yesterday afternoon during our daily walk. The H2O2 and NaHCO3 mixture did the trick.

Thanks Dave!!
