Well i have been doing some nuisance work for a guy who lives down the street. He wants all skunks gone. I figured sense i am only helping him out and doing this for free i would keep the Essence.

What i need to know is will my way of storing it work. Right now i have it in bottles and i used corks to seal them. I also have the bottles in a coffee can with some cedar sawdust. Will this set up work? Do you guys have any more ideals that will work for doing this?



Thanks

Rob

So far no smell i think the coffee can has a good seal on it lol. May get a bucket of sand and use sand in a 5 gallon bucket with a smaller bucket in side of it with the coffee can in it.

instead of sand, I use borax or boraxo. same granule form, but it also absorbs any escaping odors.


Proud to be a trapper and supporter of trapping organizations

Man, I use too much of it to have it too long!

...but, yes glass. Metal lids will rust, so I like a screw on , because you'll be changing it if left too long!

Granulated Cat litter is a good medium for storing to help hold odors as is cedar wood chips used for pet cages etc.

Thanks guys i will give them all a try.. hopefully i can pick up a few more skunks i figured i could use the stinky gold next year for fisher,Marten and K9's. Here soon imma need to find a bait that would work on skunks but leave the coons alone. Anyone know of a such thing?

Put it in ice cube trays with a toothpick in each cube and freeze it, makes it easy to pop one out and drop it in the hole without getting it on your fingers.

When I have purchased it, it was shipped in a plastic container filled with dirt.
