Insects

Formula 409

Skunk Smell in Your House

Several suggestions:

Vinegar
Boil vinegar. Then take the pan and walk throughout the house.

Candles
Put candles in every room. They will use up the oxygen in the house. New oxygen will enter from the outdoors. (Please be careful while burning and don't leave the candles unattended.)

Coffee Grounds
Place a dish or coffee grounds in each room to absorb the smell.
