Hi June and Lisa,
Burning sulphur discourages *anything* from coming around, not just skunks.
During childish explorations many eons ago, I found some sulphur cubes with
wicks, the kind intended to be burned as a home fumigant. After lighting one
of these in the house, I was told (in a memorable way, evidently) that one
did not do such things when the house was occupied, as sulphur dioxide was
both foul and toxic. Also, I believe, that sulphuric acid was a byproduct
which would tarnish the silver in the drawers as well as one's lungs.
So, Lisa, maybe putting a biohazard suit on your dog and sending her out
on patrol would be a safer idea. And we have way too many tomatoes on the
vines here; you want a couple of gallons? Maybe LivingTree could introduce
tomato soap for those special skunk occasions. You could package it in a pot
decorated like a Campbell's tomato soup -er- soap can.
