No more skunks

We knew skunks sometimes bedded down under our deck. But a couple weeks ago we looked out back and saw a whole family of skunks sniffing around the yard in broad daylight!

Baby skunks are crazy-adorable!!

Then a few days later, they were out again - in the middle of the day! This time, there were SIX babies and a momma.

I decided to take back my territory by spreading my human urine on their deck access points. It took just a couple days of peeing in a jar and pouring it around the deck, and the skunks disappeared! Just to be sure, I crumpled up some newspaper and stuffed it loosely in the openings. The paper has been undisturbed!

YAY! :)
