Today, I was visiting my childhood home, and I checked out my old treehouse. A family of skunks had made it their home, and I was promptly sprayed upon entering. FML

Today, I heard a noise in my garage so I grabbed a baseball bat and went to look. The skunk I stirred was actually better armed than me. FML

Today, I left my bedroom window open to let in some fresh air while I slept. A skunk got in and sprayed my room. FML

Today, I had my window opened slightly, without a screen behind it. I walked into the living room and smelled a skunk. I looked out the window and saw a skunk, so I quickly closed the window. However, it was too late. Before I could do so, it turned and sprayed me, a few meters of my house, and our front porch too. FML

Today, while mowing my backyard, I messily discovered that a family of rabbits has been living out there in the tall grass. FML

Today, I spent five hours in the back seat of a car with two dogs. Both had been sprayed by a skunk earlier in the day. One had a gas problem. FML

Today, I ran over my third skunk in over 16 days. I should probably return my driver's license to the DMV. FML

Today, while mowing the lawn, I was attacked by an underground hornet nest. I now have many stings, two scared dogs, and a mower still running outside. The hornets are swarming it and some are sitting on the lever, as if to turn it off. It's like they know. FML

Lol. Time to contact a vet; they usually know how to deodorize. A vet specializing in exotics or maybe even a ferret shelter could possibly point you in the right direction. Just by all means, call them; don't just drop in >.<

don't let dogs know where they are. they tend to always get sprayed when they are around which is not fun espicially If they are a house dog

Lol @ 64. It is totally dependant on the skunk. Sure. The loud noise causes 1 skunk to spray him. All 6? Nah. I don't buy it.

With what experience I have with this kind of animal, I'm guessing the six skunks (if true) were mother and babies. Where as it's highly unlikely that all six were to become frightened and defend themselves, it could happen. If a young skunk knows that it's mother is threatened, it may trigger a behavioral response. I'm not certain of the brain mechanics of a skunk. Either way, a spray from one skunk is putrid and highly concentrated - still a shitty situation to be in regardless.
