SKUNK, You win!

It turns out our little backyard gourmet is of the black and white striped variety. I couldn't sleep this evening so I took a turn by our window and watched the little hole digger looking for his next patch of grass to uproot. It's big...

The internet says to spread cayenne pepper and rags soaked with ammonia about the yard. Will do -- first thing tomorrow morning. In the mean time I hope he doesn't like pumpkin plants, basil, corn or tomatoes.

Skunks don't like loud music or soiled fur either. Place an radio near its den and set it to 11. ALso try setting a cooie tray filled with cooking oil near it's den where it has to walk through it. It won't like it and supposedly they don't return to the scene of the crme.

We don't think it lives in our yard, just eats here. Supposedly they have a 2 mile eating radius. But if I find its den... it's oil and music.
