Skunk news

I’ve been smelling the unpleasant aroma of skunks a little more often this September. I haven’t actually seen any and it hasn’t been the strong smell of a nearby spraying. It’s more of a steady smell, even during the day. I was talking to my neighbors Ashley and Conner about it. They are around 6 and 3 and also noticed the smell. Their father thinks that because we are smelling skunks during the day there must be a nest nearby. I told Ashley and Conner if I found the nest I would pay them each a quarter to bag the skunks and carry them away. They want a dollar. I agreed.

I’m in the southeastern section of Wallingford. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed more skunk activity this year. If you have a nest that you want to get rid of, I know some kids that are willing.

Let me know what you think.
