It's like we have a plague of skunks anyone else having this problem

10. every fall/winter

last year I trapped at least a dozen, 8 from under the house - and they carry rabies here. owls and coyotes will eat them, I have never had a dog that learned. they will avoid the bathing but not the damn skunks.

here is the best recipe for getting rid of odor - http://home.earthlink.net/~skunkremedy/home/sk00001.htm

you can use regular bleach - a tablespoon or so - in place of the H202 in an emergency. I keep 4 quarts of H202 around all the time, but you need to rotate it every year or so as it loses its strength over time.
