I love living in the country. Peace and quiet, low crime, lots of privacy. The down side is dealing with Mother Nature's little critters... like skunks. I cleared one out from under the house last week and sent him to skunk heaven, then sealed up the opening. Now I've got another one under the house in a new hole. I set my live trap with a can of 9 Lives to catch the current squatter and lined the house foundation with cayenne pepper in hopes of deterring any further inhabitants. Never had a problem with this in 40 years of living here.
