Here is a good link I got from another forum. I use a homemade scent killer similar to the recipe in the article. One time there was a skunk out behind the house. He heard me and the dogs so he let loose and then ran off. One of my dogs was off lead and he ran through some of the "skunk mist" and got a little skunky. I sprayed hime down with the scent killer and then wiped him off. No more skunk smell. worked great! Now, mind you, he didn't get a direct hit but he still smelled pretty skunky and the homemade scent killer got rid of the smell.
