Subject: RE: BS: Getting a skunk out from under the porch
Let us know how (or IF) it comes out.
I like critters, but I'm fairly sensitized to them invading my territory, and I figure I'm part of nature's pecking order too. Luckily, squirrels have been evicted from the attic and main part of the house without bloodshed. I yelled at the chipmunks in the basement and they haven't been back. (Or they've at least not had any loud family squabbles.) The mice aren't faring so well.

I've never been squeamish about dead animals - I once discovered a dead rat on the sidewalk outside of my school and handed over the corpse to a teacher who chased another teacher with it. No matter that HE did the chasing, I'm probably STILL on the woman's shit list. I don't like actually killing them, but I'm sure starting to become de-sensitized to mouse murdering.
