Thankfully we haven't had to deal with something that smelly... although I still wonder if that day is coming. I've spied our neighborhood skunk in our backyard enough times that I turn on the light and scan the backyard before going outside at night.

I think I asked this a few years ago, but it's worth discussing again: Any advice on scaring our backyard skunk into moving addresses?
