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.

"Wash all sprayed clothes, fabrics, people, and animals as soon as possible. The faster you get those smelly things in the wash, the better the chance that the skunk odor will actually wash off. Using your regular laundry detergent is fine, although treating the fabrics with an additional cleaner beforehand may help as well. Shower as soon as you can, and bathe any sprayed animals as quickly as possible, too. Use extra soap and shampoo, and any person- and animal-friendly skunk-specific cleansers (see below).
White Vinegar or hydrogen peroxide counteracts the natural oil in skunk spray. You will probably need something stronger than soapy water to get rid of skunk oils -- a solution of vinegar or peroxide will dissolve and remove the odor-causing oils instead of just spreading them around.

To tomato juice or not to tomato juice? Everyone's heard of the old foolproof skunk standby: tomato juice. And of course, eveyone has a different opinion about how well it does, or doesn't, work to get rid of skunk odor. The basic premise, of course, is that the acids in the tomato juice will dissolve and counteract the oils in the skunk spray. We can't guarantee that it will work, but if you want to try it, add a can (or two or three) or tomato paste to the dog's bath, or your own. Using tomato juice on any fabrics is probably a bad idea, unless you don't mind the inevitable stains.

Do skunks make holes in lawns What do skunks eat?
Yes, skunks may make holes in lawns. Small divots are made when a skunk digs for grubs. This is actually beneficial to the lawn as grubs eat the roots of grass, which will kill the lawn. If you see a large hole with tunnels in your lawn, a skunk has probably dug out the nest of ground-nesting bees, which they also like to eat. Skunks are omnivores, and will eat pretty much anything. When they live around humans, they frequent bird feeders, pet food that is left out, and garbage. They are fastidious eaters, and if they do get into your garbage, they do so with almost surgical precision. thats not true ha aha aha ahabahahahahahaha
