Okay, I was in bed, sleeping, when I was awoken by the pungent stench from a skunk that had sprayed.

I have crawl space under my house, and it smelled like the stench was coming from under my house.

Oh no, I'm sure that was a rude awakening!

If it permeates your house, you may need to wash all the clothes in your closet.

Do you think someone could have been smoking marijuana outside.I think that smells like skunk.

@Anonymous032819  Oh boy, we have been through that and the skunk had babies in the crawl space. We tried everything to get them out and finally had to call someone to lure them out and seal up the space. Good luck you and I hope you don't have babies under your house. They are very territorial and will come back again and again if they think they have found a safe "home."

I hate to tell you this but good luck with your skunk....Even though I live in the city we have some fields and Green Belts around our subdivision so we get lots of critters and one critter couple was Mr. & Mrs. Skunk....who liked to discourage the feral cats so they left their calling card..PHEWWWWWW!!!!  The smell permeated  through the walls, the windows, and I had to light some candles to get some relief.....

.. The neighborhood homemade remedies of moth balls, and fresh dirt did not discourage our "little couple"...I asked a friend who lives out in the country how to get rid of the skunks humanely...she said you can buy stuff at a feed store but it really doesntt work very well....she remembered one place she lived at one time, like your house, @Anonymous032819  this house had a crawl space where some skunks made their home....she could not get rid of them and had to put up with the smell...she was a college student and couldntt afford to move...the only way the whole thing ended was that the skunks started dying off (due to old age apparently) .....So GOOD LUCK! 

Someone in our neighborhood finally called a Wildlife Agency and non-profit that humanely captured them and took them to their refuge where they have large fields for the skunks to roam....

We've had a few run ins with skunks..always my dogs being the instigators.  And they've always gotten a snootful.  The skunk isn't an aggressive little creature,they try to run before aiming. We DONOT  let our dogs in the yard after dark. They come into our backyard to eat the bird seed after dark.
