My old house was on a heavily wooded lot, and we had skunks and deer in the woods often, so the woods behind the house were skunked once every couple of months or so. We could smell it in the house when they skunked some animal, but since it was on the other side of the property it dissipated quickly.
When my son first started driving he ran over a skunk in my wife’s new car. It took months of car washes to get rid of the smell. I even bought a special spray to apply to the undercarriage, but it was only partially effective.
What a PITA. I really hated the skunks. The deer didn’t bother me. The weird thing is that we had these critters come through in a populated suburban area. We also had the most annoying critter problem, ever: woodpeckers. They would literally bore large, round holes into the eaves, just like in cartoons. I was constantly having that damage repaired.
My wife called all this ‘The Revenge of Mother Nature’.
