They don't bother me that much lol. Been around them my whole life. There are things that smell ALOT worse.

I've been around 'em my whole life to, along with bein a trapper (you should smell my secret recipe coyote lure) and other stuff, but for some reason, skunk bugs me about worse than anything... Dont know why, just does LOL!

Irish Spring soap.

It also distracts you from the initial smell and you can pretend to be bathing in the emerald green countryside...

Well, I think this has been posted but here's the "remedy" I have:

1 qt 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (just plain ole HO)
1/4 cup Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Liquid Hand Soap

Mix together in a pitcher. Wash thoroughly!! Get your fingernails down to the skin. (The solution will breakdown the oil in the skunk spray.) Rinse under a waterhose.

I keep a bottle of Vicks VaporRub on my nightstand to cover the stink when a skunk lets loose around here (which happens all too often

)

LOL, thanks for sharing the wit and wisdom of Skunk Huntin' 101.

"Skunk-Off" shampoo... works wonderfully but only if you haven't washed with anything else first! Handy to have around for the next visit.

They have such a thing?! Neat! Where do ya get that stuff?

I tried the peroxide method, took the smell off pretty good, I'm impressed! My chickens hate me now though LOL!

I think that I bought the Skunk-Off from a past vet, but I have seen it at one of our local pet supply stores as well. It completely removed the odor from one of my dog buddies after she caught and killed a skunk then carried it around all day.

Unfortunately, I have lots of experience with skunks, 7-8 times a year. I have Jack Russell terriers that a skunk killing machines. After much trial and error I found that 1 pint of peroxide, 1/2 cup baking soda, and 1/4 Dawn dishsoap. For really bad incidents I have had to wash them twice.
