Problem we have is the dogs doc the golden retriever and Newfie know leave them alone. But boog the chocolate lab he is skunk ok I attack them then sprayed he killed one I took him to vets for rabies booster just play it safe. I'll try hot spices just around fence area, like chili powder I'll raid cupboard. We do have foxes I have never seen em this bad the skunks , get off work in morning came home had one in trap I just shoot them with 22 I make it humane as possible.
