I'm the weirdo that buys the loaded Lariat SuperCab too. My truck has to be the lowest volume trim/cab combination Ford makes.

 

Installed a new interstellar drive in the woods limo.

 

hell yeah!

 

Happy Birthday, Eammon, Have a Great one!

Happy Birthday Eammon @BadDNA !

 

Dumb ass dog got into it again with a black and white stinky cat. For those keeping score at home, its Skunk 2 Dumb Dog 0. I did find out the little stinker is living under my shed though so its eviction time. I have the base of the shed blocked off but he found a loose bit that he uses to get in. I don`t really know how to get rid of the skunk, don`t want to get him in a have a heart trap, too residential for the lead pill treatment, so i think my plan is going to be to make it uncomfortable for him, force him out them board it up tight. Thinking pepper spray for a few nights in a row under the shed so hopefully he vacates. Anyone have experience with this and have any tips or tricks? Will pepper spray work?

 

Put a small hole in the floor and pour ammonia down it. He’ll find a new home fast. If your not concerned of a dead skunk stench for a while pour bleach right after and get out of there without breathing in the gas…

 

Might try ammonia next. I`m trying not to kill him under there, they`re not bad, my dog is just an idiot. I dosed the entrance with peppermint spray tonight, i read that may do the trick on its own. They actually seem fairly simple to evict, lots of scents they don`t like and they will pack up and get out of dodge.

 

Never had the issue with my husky. I don't remember the count for how many times she got sprayed but I always called it a tie - because the skunk didn't survive the encounter either.

Great with children. Horrible with small rodents.

Now I have a catahoula who squared off with a swan and a 100lb mastiff and won both of those and then countless other chases but far less carnage.

 

Try Moth Balls, I've used them to keep squirrels out of my attic.
and yes it's late for me to post but I'm on vaca in the Vineyard and just perusing!

 

I think if you get it in the have a heart you can call animal control to remove it from there..don't quote me though.

 

Thanks guys! It was a dreary day up here but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Watched a couple of movies with my wife, hung out and just took it easy.

 

Might have to get those for more of a long term plan. I think the pepper spray or the peppermint crap I put out last night will evict him. I'll throw some under there to keep him out and also board it up tight.

I think you're correct, but I really don't want to trap a skunk.

 

for chickens, small diameter wire fence 6-12 inches underneath and out the same distance will stop most digging animals.

 

I thought I had it boarded solid. On 2 sides, the 2x12 that supports the floor is almost completely buried. The other 2 sides, one has a concrete pad so that blocks off access and the last side I buried cinder blocks but apparently I left a gap at the corner. I thought the supporting leg behind the cinder block would stop anything from getting in but there's more room back there than I thought. I'm going to board it up solid with 5/4 deck boards and bury the bottom board (I have some left over deck board on hand, I don't have any chicken wire so I'm just using what's already in the lumber yard). I do like the idea of putting the chicken wire out from the face though, that's a neat trick...

 

Happy belated birthday Eammon @BadDNA.
