I am really curious to know what it actually smells like. My guess is that it is something like the smell of pee after eating asparagus, but much, much stronger. Is there anywhere I can get “essence of skunk”?

Wow… years ago I used to run a web site about skunks & possums but had to give that up. Just about everyone in these videos is familiar to me however I’ve never seen their faces before. — Glad to see they’re all still at it.

You can use this to clean areas a pet may have rubbed against such as furniture, walls and rugs. Tes it can be used inside as a cleaner. I have used this mixture for other purposes such as cleaning a urine spot and it has worked well. Always be careful when using peroxide on dark fabrics as it may lighten them. Test when you can. Just mix a small amount to try then dispose of it.

Not about skunks but about smells. I have a cat with separation anxiety and she urinates on the basement floor if I go out of town. I’ve tried scouring down the area with enzymatic cleaners but it still smells. I wondered if this mixture would work and/or if there would be a problem using it indoors in an area with a furnace and a water heater. Thoughts?

Paul Kreabaum, an Illinois Chemist actually discoverd the formula for the removal of skunk spray.
It is:
1 quart 3% peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tsp. liquid dish detergent
Mix gently in an open container never placing a lid on the container, the formula generates gases that expand. Use mixture on pet and let sit five minutes before rinsing. You can shampoo after rinsing if you care to.
Discard any unused formula, always use a fresh mixture.
Never get formula in the eyes of your pet. I use a washcloth around the face area.

Always for the Animals,
Sandie

One 16 ounce bottle of hydrogen peroxide and about a quarter cup of baking soda with about a teaspoon of soap. I usually go 50/50 and make a paste (easier to work in and the liquid does not run away so fast). Thanks for including Humboldt State in the program! (although I had more of a problem with Raccoons in Arcata than skunks).
