Well my wife and two daughters are very unhappy with me at the moment i guess bc the jeep and house now smells like a skunk lol. I went to check a trap here by the house where armidillos been burrowing under the garage. Me being the brillant person i am i jump out of vehicle all excited leaving the WIFES jeep door wide open when i notice my foothold trap was under the garage, Im thinking finally i got the armidillo that was on camera atlest 30 times going under the garage. I reach down and grabbed the chain jerked one good time and out came one upset angry SKUNK. I think he sprayed from the time i jerked the chain till i was out of his sight. Well after the dispatch i relized during the time he was spraying he got me all over and even managed to spray into the jeep. So i go into the house smelling like a skunk and for some reason my wife and daughters did not appreciate my new profound cologne.
Any suggestions on making wife and girls happy bc i think its funny but they dont.

Chicks just don't appreciate some of the finer things in life. Pure quill is tops in my book.

Mine just rolls her eyes now.
Whats worse. When any of the neighbors smell skunk now they blame me. Even when it gets hit a half mile from my house. Of course i go pick it up though.

Aw man, that's priceless! Was the customer watching? HAHAHA
I ran over a fisher carcass with the lawnmower last friday, now that'll stink up the yard. You'd think I'd have learned after the porcupine debacle....

Seriously, 1 quart Hydrogen peroxide, 1/2 cup baking soda and dash of dawn dish soap will take it off of you. I have never used it on Automotive fabric, so I would test a small area first. It is best to use this formula as a soak, but you can use a wash cloth. Been there and done that, but then that is another story. Good luck

Well, as someone once said, "there's nothing that will get a woman to shut her pie hole faster than money". Now it's up to you to see just how much...lol btw, the peroxide, baking soda and dish wash soap really does work, even on vehicle upholstery. You might need a little frebreze to finish off the vehicle. I did.

I have used the scent removing formula for taking the stink off skunk hides and traps as well as my boots and clothes. It works better than anything else I have tried. Glad it worked for you and you did not have to sleep in a tent in the back yard. lol

I always get the look from the wife. I don't even need to get sprayed. Just wait until her son, husband, and dog all stink like the fur shed when we walk in LOL.
