The Savvy Way You Can Use Castor Oil Around The House
By JULIANA LUMAJ
Out of all the wildlife that could be hanging around your garden, skunks are probably some of the last critters you’d ever want to face. If your flower beds or fruit plants have suffered from skunks, try castor oil to harmlessly kick out these creatures.
To get rid of a skunk, castor oil has a long-lasting effect that efficiently gets the job done. Trapping and relocating the animal is another option, but it will leave behind pheromones that will later attract even more wildlife to your garden.
Mix castor oil with dish soap and water, and use a garden hose with a spray applicator to cover your lawn with the substance. Skunks hate the taste, so repeat the application if necessary to get the best outcome.
