We have a skunk problem. Tried moth balls but he eats them or something. What can i do to get rid of him?
Question:They disappear an hour after putting them out. Its living under our back porch. Someone told me i could buy some stuff to drive him away. I'm sure calling state pest control would be expensive.
Answers:
Not sure where you are located, but here calling animal control is free (well, not free, but paid for by taxes). They would be the ones who would deal with that, although you can also buy a live trap and trap it and take it to a nature preserve and release it there. Surprisingly on Myth Busters they had a show where they had caught a skunk in a live trap and tried to get it to spray and it would not do it, so I think worrying about it spraying while you transport it might not be needed. In any case, if you catch it in a live trap, cover the whole trap with a heavy blanket before you move it. Don't use a good blanket in case it does spray though! ;)
Borrow a dog and wash him later.
get a few cups of human urine (piss) and douse under the deck or pour between the cracks.
Keep a radio playing on a rude station!
