Mary,

Don't forget to prepare for mama skunk. I suggest you get old Gab & Eti
T-shirt rags & soak them in ammonia & put under the porch in areas where mama
nested last year. Tie a string to them and push them under with a pole. Pull
them out w/ the string & refresh weekly with new ammonia soaking. You can
also try moth ball sachets. A Catholic priest told me the ammonia works
wonders on SQUIRRELS. SO, if the skunk does like ammonia, then just remember
it ain't a Trelstad sibling.
