The spray of a skunk can not only be terribly stinky, but also very irritating to the eyes and mucus membranes. It can also cause temporary blindness if spayed directly in the eyes. The secretions contain multiple chemicals which cause the powerful malodor. One group of chemicals in the skunk spray, the thiols, are responsible for most of the strong smell. Others are acetate derivatives of these thiols. They are responsible for the unpleasant odor that tends to linger and become worse if your pet becomes wet. So how do you get rid of the smelly skunk odor after your pet or yard has been sprayed?The Smelleze® Skunk Spray Deodorizing Powder was specially developed to absorb, neutralize, and encapsulate the stinky skunk spray odors on contact.
