What do skunks actually smell like? Is it a pooey smell, or???
It's hard to describe the smell of a skunk. As JennyF says, up close it's eye watering. We ended up having to trap them. Once my husband got a young one that was still able to get his tail up. It sprayed him in the eye. I wouldn't let him in the house. I gave him the jug of vinegar and made him shower in the shop. His jacket and clothing had to be washed in vinegar too. Our son was sprayed on his clothing. Our dogs used to get sprayed regularly. It's interesting to read how different noses smell a mild version of it differently.
