Jason, I'd offer to help, as I love doing beavers but you have snakes that have venom and I don't like that

Our snakes are not venomous , except one rattler and it won't kill you !


From this day forward if people only smell the skunk or it is below the house. I'm gonna pass on those jobs


Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!

If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

To my nose, a dead skunk has a little different odor than a live skunk.

UPDATE: Removed one feral cat and a huge possum (he had a missing tooth, two huge scars across his face and tattered ears). Anyway the skunk has not sprayed in four days (or stunk a lot) and there is just a faint odor now

Also poured fox pee in back of crawlspace 4 days ago and yesterday , one of the den holes had the debris pushed out, pulled traps yesterday also.

Now the paying part. The guy is disabled, docs want to remove his legs, he's on SSI. SO... The guy had already paid me my set up charge and asked me when I picked up traps how much more he owed, so this is where my soft side stepped up And if I get burned I really don't care, I learned on this project (I think) of some different approaches for skunks

Anyway I said to him. " at this very moment, put I figure in your hard as to what it was worth to you fro be to get that skunk to stop waking you up every night, AND don't tell me that number". He said ok. So I said " now you send me a check every month to pay that figure off. And if you can only pay 5 a month or 25 a month you just pay me until you are at that figure". The guy almost cried, and said I sure will, thank you

Now if he doesn't, then I never go there again. And if he does, well he's a good man in my book
