Tips
Skunks can survive by eating garbage. So, move the litter box to a location where the skunk can't reach it so you don't have to clean up spilled trash.
If you don't have the time or money to make a spicy seasoning solution, use traps and release the skunk in a protected forest area or call animal control (if you're in the US).
Skunks do not like excessive noise or light. Make noise or install outdoor lights so the skunk feels uncomfortable and moves elsewhere.
Warning
Don't annoy or scare them because they fear you as much as you fear them.
Don't get the skunk spray in your eyes as this can blind you for a while.
Before attacking, the skunk will give a warning: The skunk will tap its front paws twice, lift its tail, move its body, and even stand on its hands (Spilogale)
Muscle cramps, especially if they occur in the thigh muscles, can be an excruciating condition. Uncomfortable and involuntary muscle contractions not only cause pain, but also interfere with daily activities, such as sleeping. Usually, muscle cramps are not a serious medical condition and can generally be treated with home remedies, such as stretching, massage, diet, and exercise.
Having a roommate can benefit you because he or she can help reduce expenses and contribute to household chores. However, if your roommate starts acting up and causing trouble, and your attempts to negotiate or compromise have failed, it may be time to consider eviction.
Snakes have great benefits for the ecosystem. These animals control the population of a number of pests, such as cockroaches, mice, and other insects. However, many species of snake are venomous, and some are dangerous to pets and humans. Depending on where you live, preventing snakes from entering your yard may be very important.
Boisea trivittata (the boxelder bug or American maple ladybug) which frequently plagues boxelder and maple trees, is known to congregate in large hordes. Luckily these insects don't do much damage to homes or plants, but they can still be a nuisance because of their large numbers.
Although skunks are generally harmless animals, it is best not to be around them. You may be at risk of getting the noxious spray, or worse, getting a bite from a skunk carrying the rabies virus. Skunks are omnivores that live off human waste, so they often live in yards or under wooden floors or decks.
