Yeah... they're still around. I let Murphy, my dog, out to pee this morning, and I see garbage all over my deck, which is where we temporarly have our garbage until pick-up day, which I missed this week too... anyways. So I let Murphy out, and I was focused on him not getting into the garbage, which was his first thought too.
I push him away from the garbage, and that's when we both realized, me one second later than Murphy, that there were 2 skunks less than 2 meters away from us. Murphy chased them into the area where he had been sniffing over the last few months, a place where he never really smelled before.
Luckily, the did not have a chance to spray.
I've called 311 again, to see if someone would come out, but they said they don't trap skunks. I'm going to stop by on my way home and pick up some ammonia (sp?) and place it around the yard to get rid of the varments, but I think this will make it someone else on my street's problem, which kinda sucks.
Any other tips?
