Skunk scent also works wonders for those cats and dogs that the neighbors let loose to roam all over your property. A few dabs on the critter and send them home. The owners get the message pretty quickly. I of course know nothing of this.



Might work good with some neighbors but not mine... (same ones that get drunk and I fear they'll burn a bunch of my firewood), usually, on the same nights they're drunk around the firepit, their dog is running loose and manages to find a skunk in the area. This dog has gotten sprayed at least 5 different times. No educating the neighbors or the dog :confused:

You do know Curlcherry someone, somewhere is going to get that confused in their mind and spray the woodpile with skunk scent and send a branded dog home...

I feed all the neighbors/wild animals around here, I figure just because their owners are rejects, the animals should not suffer, I have even become attached to a neighbors yellow lab that likes to sleep in my shop. As far as the neighbors stealing wood etc, I have not had the problem here but, at the place where I do my wooding, anything not nailed down is gone...like the motor on my splitter.

It might be the best thing to do though.....

spray the woodpile with skunk scent and send a branded dog home.....at least you would be able to prove the dog is yours when they call the police!!!:dizzy:
and nobody would EVER touch your wood pile....

A neighbor of mine had a 4X8 sheet of plywood for a sign that said trespassers will be barbecued. I assume alive but I never asked.


I have a sign on my gasoline barrel made after i noticed some of it was missing since it is never locked since it can be accessed from the top anyway....it reads "attention gas thieves, anyone found here in the night will be found here in the morning. I may regret it in the morning but you will be just as dead" Havent had a problem since.
