1987 seemed to be the year of the
skunk in both Morrow and Umatilla
Counties These cute little critters
have caused a flood ol phone calls
front distressed citizens
Even though you may never have
encountered a skunk before, you will
immediately recognize both its ap
pearance and odor Skunks arc km
to the weasels, ami since they are no«
particularly disturbed by man’s
presence and activities, they occa
sionally
move
into
the
neighborhood
Skunks arc protected by law in
ntost states and arc frequently found
to be carriers of rabies So. avoid
handling skunks at all costs If you
suspect a rabted skunk and must
destroy it. save the head so that it
may be examined for rabies.
Control is achieved by exclusion,
that is, preventing them from rctur
ning to their sleeping or nesting
quarters Sprinkle a thin layer of
flour around the hole or suspected
entrance to form a tracking patch
Examine the area for skunk tracks
soon after dark ami when the tracks
lead out of the entrance, the open
ing can then be safely closed off with
lumber, fencing or concrete If you
suspect that a skunk is under your
home you can hang a trap door very
similar to a dog or cat door that lets
your pet in and out of the house
( >ncc the skunk goes through the trap
door, it closes behind him and he
can’t get back in Don't try what one
guy did. he-heard that skunks will
drink anti freeze (but so will dogs)
and cause death hy kidney failure
It works, but what if the skunk dies
under your home? To prevent
skunks from coming around, spicud
camphor moth balls around the
perimeter of sour home IVin't laugh
it works
Skunks arc known tor then scent,
w hich can be ejec ted for 6 lo 10 feet.
The persistence of die odor on
anything touched by it i* quite
atomshmg A chemical known as
Ncutrolcm Alpha is probably the
most effective odor neutralizer
available for countering that horri
ble odor A tablespoonful in a water
bath works well for d o g s and
humans unfortunate enough to be
"h it". It is also quite effective lor
scrubbing floors, walls and garages,
basements, outdoor furniture ami the
like, using 2 ounces to each gallon
of water It can also be sprayed on
contaminated soil
Substitute for the above, arc
chlorine laundry bleach or household
vinegar, diluted I to 10 parts of
water, with a little household
detergent added to assist in wetting
and saturating the area Tomato juice
is messy ami won't work Its suppos-
cd effectiveness is based on the fact
that it contains a small quanity of
organic acid, aspartic acid In large
quantities this could he effective, but
not so for tomato juice
So, if for some unfortunate reason
you come face to face with a skunk
you'd better turn tail and run belore
he turns his tail
