Skunk Gel Repels Drug Users, Prostitutes

Drug users and prostitutes are turning up their noses at the condemned buildings they once frequented in Richland County. Deputies here have begun using a chemical spray that makes the places smell like a skunk has come calling.

Skunk Shot, made in New Zealand, contains synthetic skunk oil in a gel-like substance and was originally intended as a cat and dog repellent.

It's a stinking solution for a disturbing problem in some neighborhoods. Vagrants' use of the buildings has taken a nose dive, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said.

"In the 11 places we've used it, it has been very successful," said Lott, who ordered 10 tubes of gel at $14.95 each in January.

Richland County sheriff's Cpl. Danny Brown spends part of his time spreading the stink in buildings that owners say they want to stop trespassers from visiting.

Do not. Repeating, Do not use Black Flag wasp and hornet irritant.

Bump for later use

[King Prout]

no, not cyanide gas - a neat way to melt sheet-steel, though

[King Prout]

oh, do calm down.

[King Prout]

naw... picked that one up out of an Army field manual - "Improvised Munitions"

I'd divulge more out of this official non-classified government-published military training document, but some folks might have an aortic aneurism if I did.

[King Prout]

I've never tried that mix - I assume it is also exceedingly exothermic?

[King Prout]

geesh, you have a cow, and then you yourself "deliberately divulge the recipe for chlorine gas"

[King Prout]

now, you want me to explaint to all the boys and girls out there how to take a carton of cigarettes and render 90+% pure nicotine resin out of 'em?

;)

I wonder if it works for Democrats?

No way -- it's probably made from distilled Democrat in any case

Go buy a small bag of those tiny frozen shrimp and a pair of latex gloves.(note: cash only.)

Put gloves on.

Pop off hubcap, rear passenger side is best.

Insert shrimp.

Replace hubcap.

Wait about three days.

Results guarantied and because it is on a time delay the chances of it being connected to you is slim.

I have long wondered why someone didn't create something like this for riot control.

They have it and I got hit with it. To be honest I would have preferred tear gas which burns like crazy but does not require you to burn your clothes afterwords.

More or less fun to watch.
Like resublimed iodine crystals and turpentine.

A little heavy motor oil squirted in the exhust pipe produces a great smoke screen for a few minutes, repeated on odd days, vexes owner and mechanic.

What a low mean trick to play.(Probably a law against it
nowadays too)Hope no one does it in boston.
Try ProBass shops and be sure to get the TWO PART kind
it's safer if you drop it.

[King Prout]

eeeeewww.

[King Prout]

(and here I thought I had a misspent youth)
what, pray tell, does that mix do?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Makes a skunk shot smell like Chantilly

:Angelic smile:

Not that I would ever do anything like that of course....

[King Prout]

unless he was a REAL puttymouse.
