Skunk works

Since we live next to a nature reserve, it's not entirely surprising that we have an unwanted member of the Mephitidae family hanging around our property. Initial countermeasures are a motion-activated ultrasonic repellent device, which doesn't seem like it's doing much, and a scattering of granular repellent. I'm not one of those gun-loving right-wing bloggers who would solve this problem with a .22 between the skunk's eyes. But we'll see what works.
