I didn't have much luck with this product, and I have no experience with skunks using it. Sorry.

I don't know about skunks since we don't have any around here anyway, but it does seem to repel rats and mice.

We bought it hoping it would repell Armadillos, it didn't. Have no idea about raccons and skunks but spray kept cats & dogs out of our open beds.

Not sure about the skunk but Definitely I will give a try. Use it fresh, and if it's possible used with the vacuum . Give it 20 minutes and try again you will know if it works in the next hour. Since does not stain use the entire bottle. For the price I will use it

It didn't work for skunks. It attracts cats like crazy! Don't know about raccoons, but I doubt it.

Skunks don't scare that easily; they have to feel threatened and even then they warn before they spray. So, my guess is that it could work hypothetically (if it works on other other animals--certainly it can work for deer) but I am guessing that since the motion detector panel that sets off the water is higher than a skunk (low to the ground) would generally be, it might not register the skunk's presence. You may want to consider a Scarecrow which can be set lower, or a solar flashing light. We have all three (including the Havahard Spray Away Elite II) and so far have had good luck with that combination (for deer at least, and maybe other night roaming creatures.)

It seems to keep all kinds of critters away. I used it around my garden and works great, i then started to spray around my garbage cans and they don't seem to be bothered by anything anymore. I am not sure if it was coons or possum getting in trash but it doesnt happen anymore. I went straight to their website and called them and they sold me a concentrate bottle that should make about 5 gallons of this stuff. It was a little pricey but only stuff i ave found that works this well.

Yes, it got rid of my raccoons anyway. They were defecating on our waterfall. I put the scarecrow on one side aiming for the waterfall. I didn't get any more "deposits" for at least 2 weeks. Then I noticed a "deposit" on the other side (out of scarecrow's reach) next to the waterfall. I almost bought an extra one but thought about it first and tried a clever and cheaper route. I moved the scarecrow to the side...The raccoons therefore THOUGHT I had scarecrows on both sides and thusly avoided both sides due to paranoid conditioned response. It's been a couple of months and no more "surprises". Yes, it got rid of my raccoons anyway. They were defecating on our waterfall. I put the scarecrow on one side aiming for the waterfall.

It works! I have not seen any critters inside since I applied it. Remember not to use too much, you don't need it.

I had luck keeping skunks away. As far as the grubs...I use Grub-X, or an alternate grub killer every year on my lawn. I haven't had a problem with skunks digging for grubs at all.

Didn't try it for skunk odir, but certainly did not work in the car. The odor actually was worse after I used the product.

I think it's worth a try. Basically, they will think a den of foxes has moved in. It's important to follow the directions in terms of "marking your territory" and you should see results pdq. The, uh, odor, dissipates quickly, so don't let that deter you. I've just ordered more in my ongoing battle with the Fekking Squirrel. Hahahaaa

All dogs would detect the oder. The reaction of individual an dog would vary. Many would start a search behavior, others not. Many dogs will peruse skunk scent for example. Although probably not a wise choice, skunks are not considered preditors by dogs. I would not recommend this product as repellent for dogs. It actually may have just the opposite effect.

I really doubt it. I have seen products that claim to repel skunks on the market

The Sonic Spikes® have only been tested to repel underground rodents such as moles and gophers. We would not recommend using this product to repel skunks.

No, it seemed to work for a while, but the animals got used to it. you need a ton of it and have to reapply constantly. I have quit using this product. I bought those high frequency sound tubes you stick down into the ground. They emit what sounds like a distress call and sends the critters in the other direction. They aren't foolproof, but better than anything else I have ever used for squirrels, moles etc. I only saw 1 squirrel in my yard last summer. Hope this helps.

If you pick the right spot, it could kill people, but for small animals it kills them easy. I've killed big skunks around my house with it.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with that. I was using it to get rid of chipmunks. We don't have any outdoor cats in the area.
