Skunks
The size of a cat or smaller with long fur and bushy tails, skunks are easily identified by their distinctive black and white coloration. These near-sighted omnivores have a hearty appetite for grubs and insect pests, and have also been known to consume mice and small rats. They are members of the Mustelid family, which also includes weasels, martens, and badgers. Skunks are found throughout North America, with only one species found in Asia.

How do you remove musty smell in car?
If you have air fresheners it might help. But if the smell is coming from the seats you might need to replace the fabric on the seats. It just depends on where the smell is coming from. Also worth trying are Febreeze spray on the carpets and fabric (it may require repeated applications) and/or Bounce dryer sheets under the seats. Depending on where and what the smell is, shampooing the carpets and upholstery may be effective. Try to keep the interior of the car as dry as possible, musty smells could be mold or mildew which love moisture. Repair any leaks that can be found (trunks are horrible for getting wet and breeding molds and mildew, check yours if you have one).

What is a remedy for skunk odor removal?
The best remedy for skunk odor is BON-CC-41. Other remedy's aren't as safe or good. Tomato juice is a old wives tale. It just masks the odor or tricks your nose into thinking the skunk odor is gone, but really your just smelling the tomato juice because they is the new scent. The hydrogen peroxide method is not safe. It has even cause blisters on people before who were handling it.
BON-CC-41 works the best. It is a true odor neutralizer! It doesn't mask the smell, it "kills" it.

Inside house:
1. wash affected wall, floor, etc. areas with water containing either chlorine bleach or vinegar (acetic acid) or
2. Use a commercial odor-removing compound such as:
- "Skunk-off" aerosol; get through Vet Clinic, or catalog of dog supplies through dog kennel or pet shop.
- "Nil-Odor" made by Dow Chemical; follow directions and put couple drops in water, and put on furnace filter to circulate air through; can put on dogs as directed.
- "Odor-Away" either liquid (use few drops) or aerosol.
- Rexall "C-D Deodorant" aerosol, can spray furnishings, drapes, etc.
These odor-removers act to break down the oil and so remove the odor or neutralize it.
3. Spraying with aerosol or putting drops around will neutralize odor in air generally; may still smell for awhile as you put nose right down in drapes, carpets, etc. but will gradually dissipate.
Outside house on bare wood, concrete, soil: Get chlorinated lime water at drug store, or mix 1 cup agricultural lime in 1 gallon chlorine bleach and put on areas. BE VERY CAREFUL TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS - don't get on skin, clothing, etc as it will burn (is a caustic solution), and will also burn grass or other vegetation.
On clothes: Launder in cool or barely lukewarm water with lots of heavy, built laundry detergent, plus a de greaser and some water conditioner (like Calgon) if water is hard. Don't use very warm or hot water as oil will be released in steam and odor will come up out of tub.

The best way to get rid of skunk smell.
- 1 bottle of Hydrogen peroxide 500ml (available at drug stores and most grocery stores)
- 1/2 cup of baking soda
- 1 tablespoon of any dish soap
Method
Mix this in an open container (it will bubble)
decant into a spray bottle
Spray on the pets dry fur and leave to soak for 5 minutes NOTE: do not get this solution in your pets eyes, it can burn.
Rinse the pet with clean warm water.
re-apply the spray solution with a little extra soap and rub into fur
Rinse well again and dry pet.
This remedy is absolutely the best. It mimics the very expensive sprays available from the veterinarian and pet supply stores.
Note: Tomato juice no longer contains the acid needed to remove the skunk oils thus the smell. At over $1.00 per 14 oz can, it would take more than 20 cans to bathe a medium sized dog and with poor results.
I have heard (and used) tomato juice to remove skunk odor from my pet.
What is the Skunk smell from car?
If you've thoroughly washed the car (especially underneath) and the odor remains as crazy as it may sound the next thing to check is the car's battery. Automotive batteries that have a "mechanical" or physical failure (i.e. leaking or are shorted internally and often times begin to smoke) emit a sulphur odor not unlike the smell of a skunk or of a natural gas leak. If the odor is in the engine compartment chances are that's where the problem is.

Is the honey badger really the meanist animal on earth?
Honey badgers are not the meanest in the entire world, but they sure are aggressive. Even lions think twice before picking a fight with a honey badger. They can even bust open the most dangerous type of bees nest... African honey bees. They are immune to their stings, and can even sleep off a black mamba or cobra bite, and in a while they'll be perfectly fine. So honey badgers are pretty mean, or tough!
To keep skunks away, throw out some raw garlic in your yard or where ever you are at. They do like the smell of garlic.

How do you remove bad odors from a car?
Make sure the car is empty and clean. I use vinegar and water mix to wash off areas in the car--including the seats, dash and so on. If the odor remains, go to an auto upholstry shop and ask them to spray their enzyme spray that eliminates odors. It didn't totally remove the sour milk smell from my car (a gallon of milk leaked on the rear seat), but it certainly made it manageable.

Is it legal to have a pet skunk in New Mexico?
It is illegal to own a pet skunk in New Mexico.You need two permits for your skunk to enter the state of NM: one from the Department of Health and one from the NM Game & Fish. The NM Game & Fish will NOT issue any import permits for captive bred skunks to enter the state.They also will not issue any permit for a skunk as a pet.
The air intake system for most vehicles is located over the transmission hump between the driver and passenger. You can spray some air freshener down in this area and it will circulate through the vents. Try this on MAX AC. Additionally, you can put an can of air freshener down there full time.
I do not recommend tearing into the dash, there are a ridiculous amount of wires and vacuum tubes back there and tracking down a gremlin in one of those will drive you insane.
