I read Bob Noonan's book "Odorless Skunk Removal" and was trying to order chloroform. I called the company listed in the book and got no answer. On Amazon I found trichloroethylene sold as a solvent. Is this the right stuff? Are there other methods to help keep a skunk from firing off? Thanks

TCE is not it!

No need for chloroform for odorless skunk removal.

Only worth paying all the fees if you buy a gallon and who needs a gallon unless you work with a lot of skunks? I'll vouch for it working and Bobs methods are sound but it's a big expense if you're not dealing in volume or have a few other operators to spread the cost.

The best place I've found for chloroform is Rocky Mountain Reagents. I use quite a bit of chloroform, it makes skunk work very quick. I had 8 skunks in a window well and it took the customer longer to write the check then it did for me to remove all the skunks. Works great on the skunks the customer has caught in there own traps set out in the middle of the yard. Also, works very well on raccoons in chimneys.

If you are repackaging chloroform, make sure it meets consumer commodity package requirements. It's a regulated hazardous material for shipping.

I think a gallon shipped cost about 128.00. It does speed up skunk work but using an ounce or two at a time it lasts.

I've had a couple times it would have been real handy inside a building. Jim I might have to look you up.

Can't ship at this time. Too many hoops to jump through. Would cost as much or more than the chloroform. Sorry.

yeah....it is regulated on highway too. So packing a bunch in a car to drive to a meeting may be in issue.

Wow Dave, that stuff must be almost as dangerous as gasoline. ( Oh no, that's right, gasoline can explode; chloroform can't. )

Paul:

Actually, it has completely different hazards. Both chemicals are regulated "hazardous materials" by DOT. However, Chloroform is also regulated as an "extremely hazardous substance" under SARA. One chemical is flammable...the other toxic.

There are DOT exemptions to carry gasoline on a pickup as a "material of trade". You will need to determine if you are carrying Chloroform properly as a material of trade....and meet the requirements.

Sounds like you're the right guy to ask this question to: How many people have been killed or hospitalized from chloroform in the past 25 years?

It is irrelevant. Do we get to pick and choose what laws we wish to follow? From what I can tell, this only applies to the President...but hey...maybe is is becoming more widespread.

How about for the home viewer someone provide a run down on regs, use and such for our industry.

Have seen plenty of slaps but never a knock out punch from either side on this material and it's use.

EPA, CDC, cancer? Other issues, delivery quantity and safety in the field when administering, etc.....

Would like the full breadth of this topic not just quips and snips.

Any takers?

My understanding is the regs. only apply to more than 55 gals. as far as hauling. Shipping by mail or UPS is a different matter.
