Does this product work well on skunks? Can I use it in the crawl space under the house?

It will work on skunks, but not likely in a crawl space. The product is meant to be used on tunneling animals. Also, you might burn your house down.

Probably not. I got it to try and keep skunks raccoons, possums, and cats away, they are still coming around. Wish I could find something to keep them away

It works on moles and gophers, since it's highly poisonous I would not leave it out so other animals can get in contact with it, if you to try it on ground squirrels I would push it as deep as possible into their borrow and cover with dirt, dogs can dig and get to it so if you have dogs be careful. I found the two best solutions for ground squirrels is barn cats and a 17HMR, the 17HMR is more for fun, the barn cats take very good care of all the vermin including moles, just feed the cats once a day just enough for them to stick around and the rest they get by hunting.

The odor is Fox urine. Skunks aren't afraid of foxes - wary, but not afraid. So it probably wouldn't work. Suggest High frequency sonic units. Best with electric cord - it's very long, but also come w batteries. Large yard will need 2 or 3.

mine has worked in Colorado on both skunks and raccoons for over a year. it just took about two weeks for the skunks to be convinced that that high frequency sound wasn't going anywhere. good luck.

the instructions say to keep it few feet from walls, about 5ft off the ground and away from other big things, at ground level, and keep windows closed. so it depends on your crawl space if that works.

I use the product to trap insects crawling up my fruit trees. First, you wrap the tree trunk with the tape and then smear on the goop. Judging from how hard it is to remove from your hands, a squirrel should be at least highly annoyed.

That would work well. I don't spray outside...just inside and in the garage. I spray a barrier along the garage door bottom, all corners, and any place that looks like a haven for spiders. I also spray along the base of all the entry doors, under the sinks, behind appliances, and along baseboards. This stuff works great if you do it a couple times a year. I treat my house in the fall and again in the spring. I live in Mississippi near a bayou so there are plenty of bugs out there but they don't bother coming inside when I use this stuff.

I haven't yet tried it on raccoons, just squirrels. It was a disappointment. The squirrels didn't like it and they threw it out of the attic, onto the ground but it didn't chase them away. In my experience with raccoons, they have a little more on the ball than do squirrels and I can imagine that if a raccoon has an established pattern for finding food and shelter in a particular place, it would take a little more than the fox urine to get rid of it. We have both foxes and raccoons on my place and they don't seem to get in each other's way. Let me qualify the above remarks by noting how much colder than usual this winter has been. In the last 30 years that I've lived here, we've always had a squirrel or two that have overwintered in the attic. It was a little annoying but they didn't do any damage. This past fall, I had a terrible time with multiple squirrels and rats moving into the attic, gnawing on the wood and making a lot of noise. I was concerned that they would do damage to the PVC plumbing and the wiring. I wondered, at the time, if we were going to have a cold, wet winter. Turns out we have. Under other circumstances, the fox urine might have worked, if the squirrels perceived they had other shelter options. I ended up having to shoot five of them off the side of the house. In 30 years I've never shot that many. I finally had to do a lot of work closing off any possible entries to the attic.

I don't know. I've personally used it on everything that crawls creeps etc. been using for about a decade. Don't have slugs though

I have never had a raccoon in my house or attic but I'd imagine it might work on raccoons if set on the highest frequency. This is the best product around as far as I'm concerned. I have recommended it to all my friends and neighbors and not a single complaint.

It can absolutely be used in a basement, that is where I use mine. I don't know however, about crawl-spaces.

I don't know. I got mine for mice inside, and it seems to work for flies and ants, but haven't tried it outside.If I were you, I'd check the Riddex Company, to ask them. Sorry, I couldn't really be of much help.

I've used mine in my attic but I have 2 neighbors who use theirs outside and we all have had excellent results. I sometimes use peanut butter and sometimes use bacon with dog food. So far last winter I got 5 rats. Now I'm going to put it outside in a protected area and hope I get the squirrels that rob my pecan and almond trees.

Shake Away is unlikely to resolve your issue of skunks looking for grubs. I have dealt with this very issue, and found the most effective solution is to kill the grubs. Any grainulated insecticide (such as GrubX) that claims to kill grubs will work. You indicate the skunks are digging at the base of a tree. It is likely that grubs are inhabiting a much larger area than under the tree, so just get a bag and spread it according to its directions. The skunks will search elsewhere shortly after your next watering or rain showers.

It is easy to use and it kills any insects that try to crawl around our house. Just make sure the areas where you spray it along the baseboards and such that they are fully dry before small pets or children roam around. Hope this helps. But it's by far the best and only thing we use around our house.
