I don't know what's weirder...
- That I can purchase dehydrated fox urine over the internet.
- That I may soon purchase dehydrated fox urine over the internet.
- That I may have a good reason to purchase dehydrated fox urine over the internet.

Substantive update coming as soon as I can get photos off my camera, maybe late tonight.

No, no - it's for washing the spray off dogs. Mix up some OxyClean and add some dish soap, use as a shampoo. It really kills the smell.

If I knew a good trick for keeping skunks away, I'd be happy to share it. The big thing is closing off access so they can't live under your house/porch/whatever. You want to do this anyway, otherwise you'll have a constant parade of critters living there - mice, rats, possums, raccoons, skunks, feral cats, every damn vermin imaginable. It can be a chore finding all the little cracks and crevices through which they gain entrance. How old is your house?

As long as the skunks stay away from my house, I'm happy to have them around. They dig out yellowjacket nests, which makes them heroes to me. I really hate yellowjackets.

Ah, we has no dog, so no worries there unless I manage to get sprayed.

Around 100 years old.
It's still pretty much urban, so we don't have to worry about yellowjackets. We'll definitely be doing something about the lovely little alcove under the back porch, but we have more immediate concerns (like moving in to the place) first. hehe!

Ach, a 100-year-old house can have lots of little places for vermin to get in. Good luck.

Well, they live in town too, but maybe you're lucky.

Congrats on the place, btw. Welcome to the home-owning adventure!

Theoretically we could have a nest of them, but we'd notice before it got large enough to worry about. Pour a little gasoline down there and toss a match, no more yellowjackets.

(at least that's what we always did growing up. ^_^ )

Hm. You're not planning to have children, are you? ;-)
