Thank you to Officer Wells from animal control who came to my house to help me with a skunk issue. She did a home assessment on my property and pointed out things that were attracting the skunks. They had previously trapped several skunks over the years at our house, but it never solved the problem. We secured our trash, cleaned our grill and put down grub killer as she suggested, and voila, the skunks have moved on. One is never too old to be educated. I can attest that trapping skunks is not the answer.
