Skunk Repellent
There is no such thing as an effective skunk repellent. Period. People will always try to sell you products, and magic cure-alls. Some products
work, and some don't. In the field of wildlife control, you'll often find more bogus products than effective ones. Skunks are mammals. They are
similar to you and I. There is no magic scent or smell or chemical or poison that will deter them. The internet is full of skunk deterrent
products, but none of them work. Some of these products include fox or coyote urine, which is a nice idea in theory, but it isn't effective. Other
products are simply made of napthalene - moth balls - which some companies sell as an end-all be-all in wildlife repellant. Sorry, it simply doesn't
work. I've seen people dump a whole 5 lb. box of mothballs under a deck where skunks are living, and they don't care in the slightest. They keep using the
area. Other people try to repel Skunks with castor oil based sprays and liquids. The idea
is that the castor oil makes the ground taste bad, or it makes the worms and grubs in the ground unpleasant to eat, and this drives the skunks away.
Again, such products don't work in the slightest.
There is no magic spray or powder or anything else to keep away skunks. If you have an Skunk problem and you wish to get rid of them, they should
be physically trapped and removed from the habitat. Either that, or physical barriers, such as fences (that go at least a foot underground) should be put in
place as a means of skunk prevention.
