The thing is I have no idea where this skunk actually is or where it's spraying. My woods are only about 100 feet from my house & a fairly steep slope going down into them. No telling where this little guys home really is & neighbor who doesn't live here has an empty delapidated barn close to the property line with a house he never finished building....lots of places for a skunk to make its home I can't even get to. Most of my farm & that area is so overgrown until winter makes it die back it's hard to even get through except for the wild animals.

I saw a little skunk crossing the driveway as I was leaving the farm where I'm caring for the abused stallions. Glad he was paying attention to something in the grass & not my truck.

I was up at 4am getting a hot shower for my sore muscles from dragging a muck bucket up a hill at the farm to get it to the manure spreader. Hurt so bad I couldn't sleep & now every smell is bothering me. Skunk smell was gone but dog smell & other smells from working with the horses that get on my cloths I can't wash until my new washing machine arrives next Tuesday seems to be filling my bedroom. Sooooo sensitive after that skunk on Monday night. Then I wake up at 8:30 & smell a lighter smell of skunk again so sometime between shower & morning a skunk sprayed somewhere around. I don't think they hibernate in the winter because last winter when I was caring for my friend/neighbor's dogs I stopped & watched a skunk digging in the snow along their almost mile long driveway. How can something sooooo cute smell so bad & why is the skunk the only little animal that was given such a horrible smell to protect itself?

Not sure what the solution is since I haven't even seen the skunk or where it spraying tho it has to be somewhat close to the house as the smell doesn't go away like if it just came in from a distance. The smell does travel a long distance.
