Please do NOT use mothballs! The naptha in moth balls is VERY toxic, & it can get into the ground & surrounding area & kill any animal that accidentally ingests it. Years ago someone suggested my mother do this to keep our pet rabbit from eating her flowers; it killed him. Not only will this solution endager your skunk, it may harm your ferrets & other pets. Please try something else. Good luck! Lisa [Posted in FML 6473]
