Raccoons get a lot of crap for being mischievous scavengers, but skunks are a thousand times worse. They have all of the ingenuity of raccoons, but also spray concentrated fart water that smells worse than cat piss and bong water combined.
Recently, retired model Melissa Stetten’s cat had a run-in with some of these pungent prowlers when they dug their way into her yard.
My cat got sprayed with a skunk a few weeks ago and I had to give her a bath for the first time. It was traumatizing. The odor didn’t go away, so I washed her with tomato juice and her fur turned pink. pic.twitter.com/gdqpmCfyIT

Though the cat is now fine, Melissa quickly decided to work the problem.
Here’s one of them lounging by my pool like it owns the fucking place. pic.twitter.com/D5xeC9x5Yn

They drew first blood. They are not retreating. This is war.
They were coming from my neighbors yard and into mine. All I had to do was block the entrance. pic.twitter.com/8xEcYHw3OY

This should do the trick.
I put wire mesh and a ton of rocks where they were getting in. Problem solved. pic.twitter.com/BKnp8KLvM1

Or not.
Minutes later I got an alert. I thought maybe I blocked it in? I felt bad! pic.twitter.com/Lnfz1WOlw7

And after a bit of research…
My blockade failed. pic.twitter.com/LqNntePour

Boom. You’re finished. Game over.
UPDATE: I see one trying to dig under the cinder block… pic.twitter.com/Ioo0pFoQZE

LOL JK
I have another cinder block. I’m gonna dig under the fence and stack them tomorrow. I will win this war.

Determination triumphs. Humanity: 1 Skunks: 0
I’d just like to add here at the end that I had a cat get sprayed once. I used this and it worked really well.
