I wonder if vodka would work to neutralize the smell?

skunks are legal pets in NJ
I have been bugging hubby to let me have a guina pig, but he says I have enough pets. Since when is 12 cats, two dogs and a tank of fish enough pets
My sister had a pair of guinea pigs. One ate the other! We used to have all kinds of critters when I was growing up. Never a pet skunk though.
Hissy! How you smellin' this morning, hun? Are you still a stinky butt? LOL. You poor dear. 30 minutes paying homage to the porcelain god must have made your ribs hurt, eh?
I haven't seen my Peppy in quite a while. Makes me wonder if my neighbor didn't take care of him once and for all. I hate it when he does that -- he usually just goes after the rabbits, but I wouldn't be surprised if he finally gave Peppy the final goodbye.
You poor thing.
You might find some product at a local pet store to banish the smell.
I know a woman who owns a wonderful little country craft shop in town. She had a family of skunks living under the front porch (under part of her shop). Her husband had to catch them and take them for a ride to the country. This was last year. She still has the smell lingering in there!
Also, I'm surprised that no one mentioned here. . . . be careful as skunks can be rabid.
I once went for a walk at night and was chased by one! I ran like the Dickens.

Sam, someone needs to invent a click and sniff feature for the internet just for people like you. LOL!!!!

Ewwwwww poor Hissy! Did the tomato juice get the smell out of your hair? I always wondered how good that actually worked. And I can imagine you're still sick to your stomach! I had a skunk spray right under my bedroom window once and I had a fan in the window. I was sick for days! Yucky!
If you drank enough it would at least neutralize it to you !Originally posted by hissy
hey Heidi? I wonder if vodka would work to neutralize the smell?

LOL I was nicely neutralized last night, thank you! I had a bottle of vodka and 1/2 of it went in the washing machine with my poor clothes and shoes and the other half.......well never mind!
Last night it was hard to sleep. Every so often I would get a whiff of myself- (no tomato juice does not work to get the smell out of hair, but it does change it a lovely color! LOL) or then I would wake up thinking miss skunkaroo had gotten in the house-but it turned out to be poor Ripley apparently she was close to the action last night as well! I am not about to bath a pissed-off feral at 2:00 in the morning so her bath waits, but did she have to sleep on my feet last night?

OMG , I just was reading that thread . Poor MA , I feel for you . Skunks can look so cute imo , but here in Ga. I think we don't have any . But after reading this I think that's good
. I can see myself being sprayed a few times .I hope you doing ok today after yesterday , what a day for you . Hope your flower smell is gone by now . I wish you a better day today
So, did the vodka work on the clothes?
I had read in a cat book on vacation that vodka actually works better than vinegar to completely remove cat urine odor, and I asked our resident experts if they had tried it. If it works for skunk, I think we can safely suggest it for cat pee!
Maybe you should get more and try it on your hair? It may dry it out, but dry hair is better than skunky hair any time!

Owwwww Hissy!
I ran over a skunk in my car about 4 months ago. I slammed on my brakes as hard as I could and the car went over him - he ran off the side of the road and when I went back to look for him in the daylight, I couldn't find him - I think he made it! Of course the car wasn't as fortunate, he got me full blast the length of the uncarriage of my car. I took it thru a car wash about 5 times with an uncarriage wash - the smell was in the trunk disappated after about 2 weeks. I couldn't park the car in the garage for about a week.
Maybe you should run yourself thru a car wash????

The vodka worked! So if it neutralized the smell of skunk in my clothes then it sure should cat urine.
Did you get the smell out of your hair before leaving for the knife show? Did you just bathe in vodka with a straw?
True, When I come over there and meet up with all you someone better show me a skunk!Originally posted by Kiwideus
Sam, when I first arrived here, I smelled a skunk for the first time, and IMO it wasnt as bad as I had imagined. Somehow the smell reminds me of burning tyres - I don't know why. Jake doesnt agree with me.
Burning tires? Oi! I WISH that's all that skunk odor smelled like to me!
And Sam... maybe someone will be able to show you one from afar. I don't think you're going to want to get too close though.

Sam, come to Tucson and I'll take you to the Desert Museum. You can meet spotted skunks as well as the garden variety striped ones. They both smell badly!
