Everything you need to know about skunk odor.

If you or one of your pets has recently been sprayed by a skunk, you are probably wondering how long it will take for the odor to completely disappear. This short post should help give you the information you need to know to get an answer.

First off, skunk musk is not like most odors. It will not evaporate or wash off. In fact, skunk spray is an oily liquid which makes it extremely difficult to remove. Because of this skunk musk will generally stick to whatever it comes in contact with and will continue to stink until the musk dries up. Normally this can take up to two weeks in ideal situations, but can take much longer if the skunk musk is in an area or location where there is little fresh air and a lot of humidity.

Many people quickly panic when their dog is sprayed by a skunk.  Unfortunately, this is the worst thing you can do because when you panic you make mistakes which cause the skunk odor to spread and get worse.  These tips will help you to avoid making the most common mistakes which add even more difficulty to removing the skunk odor.

The first mistake most people make with a dog sprayed by skunk is bringing their pet inside their house.  If your dog was just sprayed by a skunk, do not bring him or her inside your home.  If you think it’s best to clean your pet in your bathtub or shower, you are wrong because by bringing your pet inside you will only spread the skunk smell from your dog inside your home.  If you don’t believe me and want to do it anyway, at least wrap your dog up in an old towel or blanket to prevent the odor from spreading as much.

The second mistake people make is trying to get the skunk odor off their pet by using water and soap.  Skunk smell is oil based and will not wash off with water or soap.  In fact, by using water and soap you will cause the skunk spray to smear and spread to other parts of your pets body.

This page will tell you the best way of how to get rid of skunk smell on dog.

If you were casually driving down the road in the country, it’s not uncommon to see a skunk or two that have had previous encounters with cars.  If you are ever as unlucky as those drivers, you will know that if you accidentally run over a skunk, the skunk will spray your car.  So what do you do then?

Skunk smell removal from a car does not have to be a difficult thing to do.  In fact, you can easily solve this problem by following the below steps to control the skunk smell:

1)    Set your air vents to inside air only (recirculate the clean air inside your car)
2)    Don’t park your car in the garage (unless you want your house to quickly smell like skunk).
3)    Don’t roll down your windows because that will just let more of the skunk odor inside your vehicle.

Hopefully the above tips will help you remove the skunk odor from a car, otherwise you may need to try this skunk smell removal formula.

If you, your pet, or someone you know has just been sprayed by a skunk the chances are that you are panicking right now and don’t know what to do.  Unfortunately panicking can cause you to make mistakes causing the skunk smell odor to spread and last longer.  This article will go over some of the top things to do to help aid your skunk smell removal efforts making the odor easier to remove.

The Golden Rule – The golden rule for skunk smell removal is not to go inside your house.  Of course, if you are a person you will eventually need to return to the house, but if you immediately run into someone’s house then you can immediately tack on another several hours to the cleaning process because you will now need to remove the skunk smell from yourself and then again from the inside of the house.

The Silver Rule – The silver rule is not to think water will remove or wash away the skunk odor. Using water will actually make the removal process more difficult to do because skunk musk is an oil, so water will simply spread and smear the oil to other parts of your body.

The Bronze Rule – Don’t follow people’s advice on the internet regarding skunk smell removal.  The chances are that they do not know what they are talking about.  For instance, people say to use tomato juice and tomato paste to remove skunk odor.  Unfortunately that is one of the biggest myths that will never go away.  Tomato juice doesn’t work and neither does 90% of the information the average John Doe posts on the internet.  If you’re serious about removing skunk smell, then it’s recommended you do some serious research or purchase a proved home remedy recipe.

Skunks are one annoying critter if you live in the country and have to deal with the increasing skunk population near your house.  Not only do they spray your dog and make your property smell bad, but they also get into whatever food they think you have left out for them and make a mess of it.  This article will help explain why people think skunks are getting into their trashcans and if it’s actually possible to do so.

It’s a common scene, you walk outside your house only to see your front yard littered with trash and you smell the ever familiar smell of skunk musk through the air.  Of course when anyone sees a situation like this they immediately think that a local skunk is the culprit, but can a skunk actually get into a trashcan?

While a majority of people believe that skunks enjoy getting into people’s trash (and they would if they could), it’s just not very likely that the skunk is doing it.  First of all, skunks cannot jump, so if your trash is in a trash can they will not be able to get to the top of the can.  While skunks can climb, they cannot climb up a free standing trashcan because their legs will not grip onto the smooth surface the same way they do on the bark of trees.  Also, skunks are not very big animals.  They may look large and fluffy, but do not get larger than two to six pounds, which is about the size of an average housecat.  Since trash cans when full can weigh upwards of thirty to fifty pounds, it’s not likely that a skunk can knock the trashcan over on your property.  The most likely explanation is another animal knocked it over and the abundance of food on the ground attracted the attention of a local skunk.

These pages will help you to learn how to keep skunks off your property or if you want to get rid of skunk smell.

If your dog just got sprayed in the face by a skunk it’s important you know what to do and what to expect.  The following article will help you out with both.

Expect: Your dog will be trying to rub the skunk odor off on anything.  He will probably be rubbing against every surface he finds.
Do: Don’t let your dog inside your house, he will immediately try to rub the odor off on carpet, furniture, rugs, and anything else he can find.

Expect: Your dog will have excess saliva, mucus, and tears from the odor irritation (remember a dog’s nose is much more sensitive than our own noses).  This can look like he’s foaming at the mouth.
Do: Give your dog some water to drink and try to help by wiping the excess drool from his face.

Expect: Your dog will most likely have a hard time paying attention to you (as you can understand) and he may not make the best decisions.
Do: Understand the situation your dog is in and don’t expect him to calmly listen to your instructions (such as sit, stay, etc.)  You may also want to fasten your dog up on a tie out or a leash to make sure he doesn’t run away or into the street from the confusion (or worse trying to go back and get the skunk).

After you’ve completed the above the next step will be to remove the skunk spray from your dogs face.  Unfortunately this can be tricky to do so we recommend using this Dog Sprayed By Skunk In Face remedy.  It was created by professionals and works 100% of the time and can be done at home with ingredients found in every household.

If a pet or person recently got sprayed by a skunk, it’s not uncommon for the smell to spread inside your house.  Unfortunately skunk smell removal from a house can be difficult to do, but this article should help to prevent the odor from spreading, lingering as long, and from being as strong.  Follow these tips to help make your house skunk smell free.

  1. If anything within your house has come in contact with a skunk, remove it from your house. For example, if your dog has been sprayed by a skunk and you put the rags used to clean him in the trashcan in your garage, take and keep your trashcan outside.
  2. Determine which room smell most like skunk and close off the rooms that don’t smell like skunk from the odor. This will keep the odor from spreading to other rooms.
  3. Turn off your heating and air conditioning until you can eliminate most of the smell. You don’t want the skunk smell to spread via your air ventilation within your home, so until you can get the odor more controlled, turn off your heat and air unit.
  4. Change your air filters in your central heat and air unit. Chances are that if you have run your air unit since skunk smell has entered your house that the air filters have collected some of the odor.  There have been cases of people who have completely removed the skunk smell from their house but didn’t change their air filters and within days their entire house smelled like skunk.
  5. Make sure it doesn’t smell like skunk outside near your air unit. If you removed all the skunk smell from your house and it still smells like skunk outside near your air unit, then the chances are that your air unit will spread the odor from outside your house towards in inside of your house.

These tips should help you to be able to control the skunk smell and will be the first steps you need to take to remove the skunk odor from your house.

Try this Skunk Smell Removal from House recipe to completely eliminate the skunk odor and to wipe it from every room in your home.

So just how close can you get to a skunk before you’re in the “Danger Zone” of being sprayed?  You may be surprised to know just how far a skunk can spray it’s musk, but it’s not really about the distance the skunk can spray but  rather the accuracy it has.

A skunk can spray accurately anywhere from 6-15 feet away.  Notice I said accurately, this means at 15 feet away you’re at risk of the skunk spraying you right in the face!

Keep in mind that the average skunk can spray no more than 5 times over a 10 day period so the skunk is not going to spray you unless it feels it can hit you.  This means that a skunk can probably spray anywhere from 10-25 feet, but since they’re not going to waste their skunk musk to break distance records they will wait until you’re within the 10-15ft range before you get sprayed.

If you do happen to get too close and need a good home remedy that works 100% of the time to remove skunk spray, then checkout this Skunk Smell Removal formula.
