The best skunk scent neutralizer I have found is Massengill Douche. Just mix it up and wash with it and your problem is solved. It is just too easy. People just don’t seem to want to believe it but would rather try several other more difficult remedies that are not even effective. But, if it happens to you or someone you care about and you need to get on with your life quickly, try Massengill.

We live near Harper Kansas. Recently a very brave skunk has been showing up around the house, coming into the light, walking on the porch, down the sides of the dirt roads at night. It has two thin white stripes running from it’s snout and down its back instead of one white stripe on it’s nose. What kind of skunk is this?

Yes I used to adore skunks to thought they were cute but as of this morning I no longer have this point of view. It being breeding season up here for them and end of february I woke up and stayed up all night to the scent of skunk so strong it was as if someone shoved onions up my nose eyes watering and nose burning. They were right under my patio and I let my dog out and she wouldnt get them out either. I have now sent my brother out to track them down. If that doesnt work I will be going tonight with my brother and my rifle and Im gettin a few stink bombs off my farm. OMG!! I have hit them on the highway and they have never smelt this horrid granted that stentch was aweful to but this is beyond anything I ever expected. I DONT THINK THEYRE CUTE ANYMORE

I love this one. I chased a skunk last summer, and had the opportunity to photograph it once it reached the bottom of the hill. I was far enough away not to get sprayed, but, he did bring that tail up and sniff the wind in my direction. I had no idea there were that many types of skunks.

How recently was Mephitidae inaugurated? – recently I’m guessing…
More pictures! A picture of each animal described, or links would be grand!

What a great job, Jerry! I miss our long talks. Like Jerry and other skunk rescue and rehabilitators, I umderstand the importance of learning to coexist with these creatures. It’s wonderful that we are learning more and more about this species, because there once was a time when there were a lot of myths about this animal, mostly created out of fear of getting sprayed. Education is one of the most important gifts on earth and I’m so glad that you are doing this documentary on this animal!

My wife Cody, and my self, work under an Educational Permit with Ohio Department Of Natural Resources ( Division Of Wildlife) We work mainly in two State Parks. (Hueston Woods State Park & Eastfork State Park. We also do ( Special Assignments) filming and documenting wild skunks living at private residences. One part of our skunk research, is interacting closely with park guests and campers. Our routine involves traveling through the campground areas befor darkness sets in. We are fondly known in Hueston Woods State Park as “The Skunk Patrol” It is amazing how many people wave us down to tell us about thier incounters with visiting wild skunks. Many have stories to tell, others have questions relating to skunks. Often, while filming in the park, people will gather, and stand quietly behind us as we film. People ARE interested in skunks, both wild and domestic ones. Because of negative press for so many years, People did not have a chance to meet and learn about our skunk neighbors. But, times are a changing, thanks to this program ( Is That Skunk) more will learn the true story about skunks. To know them ,is to truely love them.
