RE: Mysterious Skunk Smell
I didn't know it was skunk smell until my husband said so. It's in our garage. I've been looking at several websites to find the solution to deodorize. I'm even scared to look for one in the garage, we had left the garage open for couple of hours during the day for ventilation. I'm worried it may be there somewhere and spray me if I go. Pls help.

Just take a can of cat food. Stick it in a cage outside by your home. Then wait at night for your little skunk friend to come around. they just love cat food. Also you can catch it this way. BTW, They dont stink unless they spray. The other thing something could of died in your wall in your home. That can give off a really bad smell too. BTW, My father has had skunks living around his home for years. and they tend to like to eat all my dads cats food. LOL! They wont spray unless they are scared. and they alway give warning first by raising their little behinds. And if your dog hasnt been sprayed by the one by your house. It could be a skunk used to dogs.Since skunks are smart like cats. and they become friends with other animals easily. That could be the reason why your dog hasnt been sprayed yet. The other reason it could be a spit cat instead of a skunk. they tend to smell all the time those little fury guys.

RE: Mysterious Skunk Smell
I had that problem once when I was living in a mobile home. The unwelcome guest was a possum under my unit. He gave off an odor similar to a skunk, but not as strong. A live trap set near where I fed the dog caught him and I disposed of him at a woods a few miles from home.

RE: Mysterious Skunk Smell
Are you sure it is skunk? We have problems sometimes with dead mice in our walls and the smell is awful.
I must add though, I am the only one who can smell it. It drives me crazy. I have been blessed or cursed with a keen sense of smell.

We had a skunk spray under our deck one year and as I recall it took some time for the smell to go away completely. Several months it seems. Also, was much, much worse in the heat of the day. Good luck!

RE: Mysterious Skunk Smell
I had a similar experience. It turned out that one of my "roommates" was bringing in marijuana that smelled like a skunk. It was very strong as he had brought home the bud. It does not have to be smoked to give off the odor.
If you have any teenagers a little hunt might be in order.
I hope that's not what it is, but it is possible.
Good Luck!

I would check the attic, chimminey, furnace and I have heard of them getting into walls and eves.
Good luck.

RE: Mysterious Skunk Smell
No idea how to remove it. I am curious if you notice it more when it has just rained or weather is damp. Years ago, a friend had a car that smelled every time it got wet from hitting a skunk. My father said it was the moisture that brought out the odor.
