Yes...I said SKUNKS! Last week when putting the mower in the garage, Tony saw a skunk! A couple days later they saw him again. Scott called the pest control man (who in my opinion has the worst job in the world) who said that skunks typically don't live in garages, they just get what they want and leave! Well today the exterminator came and trapped not one but TWO skunks that had made their home in our garage! When Scott asked him how long they'd been there he said probably since the winter!!!! GROSS!! I can't count the number of times that Scott, Ryan or I have been in and out of that garage.
Apparently skunks have learned to ignore humans and are more likely to spray another animal rather than people. I also learned that skunks are very social animals and may have told their friends to come by and check it out!!
Scott says he didn't want to look at the trapped skunks but the trapper wanted him to identify him! He said he can't get the image of skunks out of his head!
The next step is to clean up the droppings they left behind. Pest control told us that the scent/fumes are not good to inhale so either he can sanitize it for us or Scott should wear a mask while he shovels. Not sure who it's going to be yet!
This makes the raccoons that keep getting into our trash not so bad!
