Default A ******* Skunk

was woken up at 3:50 am this morning of a skunk smell.Now I have had this happen many of times but I usually just get up and light a match and I'm back off to bed.

this time it was real bad. Like that sucker was in my bedroom. Nothing I would do could help. first was matches (the sulfur kills any smell) didn't help, then a can of Glade refreshing springs. also didn't help, then Good Sense tuscan gardens also a spray can.
now I'm choking on multiply smells as well as canned spray chemicals.

I cant sleep.

I recently got home to only find my house still stinks, which should have gone away by now.

I think that sucker is living under my front porch which where my bedroom is near.

I now have a Febreze candle lit. and to be honest I'm not a fan of candles. I've seen first hand bad fires caused by them in my lifetime.

I guess I will have to sleep in the rear bedroom tonight if the candle doesn't help.

ha, even my cat came out of the spare room when I got home from work today.

I hate skunks, what if any good use are they to this world of ours

Does lighting a match really help disipate the smell?

I've had one of those ******* die in of my backyard... in the corner right next to the house. Underneath some shrubbery. Stunk for DAYS before we figured it out.

I hope this is not the case for you! :(

I think it'* "Eau du skunque"...

Back in my childhood neighborhood, our next door neighbor SHOTGUNNED one...the idiot used birdshot though, didn't kill it. It took days for the smell around the carcass to dissipate enough to bury it...
