Oh gosh! I feel for you, so sorry! I'd call animal control, I guess? Maybe they can at least tell you what to do!

Well, JIm tried to look under the house to see if there was a nest or something. Couldn't really see around all the post and stuff. I went and bought a flood light and will try that tonight. The smell has gotten much better in the house. Or I've gotten used to it. Can't tell...

While this skunk is around be sure to take off your shoes before walking in the house. If the skunk has sprayed somewhere and you step in it, you can drag the oils into your house and carpet.
This happened to someone I used to work with. The skunk sprayed infront of her house, she ended up claiming it on her home owners insurance because her house was almost unliveable and she had to have professionals come in and do something to ther house (can't remember what exactly)

BTW.. oxyclean helps with stuff that has been sprayed.
