does this product work well on skunks?

I don't know - I have never seen a skunk around my house. I do know it works on raccoons to keep them out of the garbage.

My round set is just fine on my arctic cat 500 4x4 on the farm. I have found and killed at least 10 skunks in the past year on my ATV. Make note that they are not spot lights, but more flood or work lights. You need to contact Tuff LED directly if you want to differentiate between the two. I found the varmints while riding then used my hand held spotlight to end if you get the drift.

It didn't work for skunks. It attracts cats like crazy! Don't know about raccoons, but I doubt it.

Since the Pest-a-Cator doesn't affect dogs, I'm not sure if it would be effective on raccoons or 'possums. I read that it will deter squirrels in attics if set up properly, however. Try contacting the manufacturer via their web site (also see their FAQ's); perhaps they can give you a better idea if the product might work for raccoons. It has worked well for our mouse problem!

I would ask the manufacturer. It works great on gophers but I've never tried on squirrels. Sorry

So, From the best I can tell, this stuff works well. We spread a couple of bags each year and rarely see a snake around the house. We live in an area with many copperheads and rattlers as well. I would not say it works 100% of the time as I have seen small, beneficial snakes around. Sweeney's has a couple of videos on youtube you could look at.I will say it smells much better than all other repellants I have tried. It would be worth having around just for the pleasing aroma if nothing else.My personal thought...many of these products work to some degree, not for all snakes, but what it does is give the homeowner a piece of mind. Just my two cents.I do recommend this one over all the others though. So, From the best I can tell, this stuff works well.

I can tell you it does remove skunk odor from your clothing, hair and skin. Was sprayed a few weeks ago and used a diluted spray and the smell was gone in a matter of minutes. Wouldn't be without this product.

I don't know about skunks since we don't have any around here anyway, but it does seem to repel rats and mice.

This product either worked over the past 6 month/winter, or else I just got lucky - as I had no Voles intrude my lawn this yea. Works supposedly for Vole & Moles... I hope this information helps!

Skunks don't scare that easily; they have to feel threatened and even then they warn before they spray. So, my guess is that it could work hypothetically (if it works on other other animals--certainly it can work for deer) but I am guessing that since the motion detector panel that sets off the water is higher than a skunk (low to the ground) would generally be, it might not register the skunk's presence. You may want to consider a Scarecrow which can be set lower, or a solar flashing light. We have all three (including the Havahard Spray Away Elite II) and so far have had good luck with that combination (for deer at least, and maybe other night roaming creatures.)

We never used it for that purpose so I don't really know. We have seen a raccoon that went after birdfeeders and trash cans, but I never thought to spray for that purpose. I think a strong mint oder repels raccoons. This product has a light mint scent so it might be worth a try, but I can't really say it would work as well as it has for deer damaging plants in our yard.

All dogs would detect the oder. The reaction of individual an dog would vary. Many would start a search behavior, others not. Many dogs will peruse skunk scent for example. Although probably not a wise choice, skunks are not considered preditors by dogs. I would not recommend this product as repellent for dogs. It actually may have just the opposite effect.

It might work on skunks. I've seen it detect a cat at close range. Generally, the smaller and slower the animal is, the less likely it will be detected. Thick fur and high ambient temperature are other factors that limit thermal detection. Works very well on people and deer, but not very well on cats.

Do not know about rats,or skunks,because i do not have a problem with them,but Squirrels. I still have them! Did not work for those pesky little rodents. I purchased two of them figuring it would be a double wammy ,but they are still running around the attic.

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.

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.
