I've heard that one reason for skunks coming into a yard is that they're digging for grubs under the surface of the soil.

Try spreading something like Grub-ex under there.

The only other thing I can think of would be to put a pan full of anti-freeze under the porch at night. Animals love the taste of it, but it kills them. If you have cats or dogs that wander through your yard at night though, you wouldn't want to do this.

Btw, I'm not positive, but you may be the first person who ever posted pictures of poop on the forum. LOL

And what (do you think) are they doing in labs. It's been presented in a "Scientific" way. If it helps solve the problem, it was all worthwhile. Eliminate confusion

You're saying that the OP is the "first person to publish the picture of poop on line". My response was that it's done for the purpose of ID'ing the animal.The same way in labs many unsavory things are done for the sake of making Scientific progress. I personally couldn't handle Lab rats or mice. Eliminate confusion

Oh, I see. I knew why he posted the picture, I was just goofing around about being the first one to post pictures of it on the forum, not on line though.

Maybe it's just an optical illusion but the two zoomed in "items" look like heads with eyes.

Since this thread was revived I might as well post the outcome.

Shortly after my last post, Ace Hardware had a sale on Critter Ridder so I bought it. It was unbelievable how well it worked. I put the container in my garage and didn't get around to opening it for a couple days. During that time I noticed that there hadn't been any "calling cards" on the porch. So I waited longer, and they never re-appeared.

That stuff is a miracle product! I didn't even have to open it to get rid of the critter!

Seriously, though, whatever it was never came back.

Glad to hear it worked so well. It must be a huge relief not having to worry about that any more.

Thank you for pointing out the distinction. It's just that I didn't have the EXACT quote in front of me when I posted the reply. (Blaming someone or something else for my own mistakes)
