How to Get Rid of Skunks (from first-hand experience)

#1. If your dog has a date with Pepe Le Pew, a tomato juice bath will get rid of most of the smell.

#2. If you have a skunk living under the house, mothballs and loud head-banging music will make them move out. (WARNING: May attract grandmas and local teens.)

#3. If you spot an “adorable” black kitty with a white streak, don’t try to pet it!
