This barn has had low traffic for awhile. A skunk moved in under the feed room floor. All feed is contained in bins. The only place it smells is in the feed room. The floor has plywood which I can eventually remove and have someone clean out their den.
I’ve been tap dancing in the feed room to annoy them and placed a radio in feed room on a station with lots of talking and some music. Aside from talk radio, I read that placing a light at the entrance of the den will discourage them, because they are nocturnal and will be annoyed by the light. Will be installing that today. We have live traps, but then you have to do something with the critter from there. Thought of calling in a critter gitter, and they can do all the dirty work. It’s possible they moved out, since the radio has been running constantly for 4 days. I’m going to set up a motion sensitive security camera with night vision today so I can see if they are still there.
The access hole will be covered. But we are concerned they might pack up and move into the space between the kick wall and exterior siding of the nearby arena. What are some ideas to discourage them from relocating elsewhere on the property? Thought of adding more radios and motion detector lights.
