And you think you've got problems

oh dear!

 

I DO have problems and they are really stinky but not that kind of stinky.

I wonder if a fire/water damage company would have ideas on how to rid the smell?

 

I've heard there is an enzyme product one can use to get skunk odor out of things. Don't know what it's called, but I'm sure someone here does. The musk is mostly going to be on the exposed parts of his book covers so he might be able to remove a good part of it.

Then increase the ventilation in his library!

 

Wow, no tomato juice fix for that one. Sounds like a job for the restoration pro's in this case. They can work wonders with skunk damage and hopefully insurance will cover it. What a hassle, though!

 

That is a hard one. I know a few things that don't work real well with dogs, but I sure don't know about books or computers.
Maybe talk to a librarian about finding a solution? Your county extension agent may be able to help find somebody that knows what they are doing. Time heals all wounds, but

 

That stinks. I'd hate to be the adjuster handling that claim. Does he have insurance?

 

Oh my! did you READ what you wrote?

lots AND lots of baking soda!!!!!! you can buy 10 lb bags at Sam's club. while the soda is
alll over everything spray with freebreeze uncented. Let it sit.....and sit.....vacume. Repeat if needed. it does work on nonwet oders.

 

Oh that's just heart-wrenching! I hope for the best for him and the recovery of his books.

Did he call animal control to dispatch said pest?
