 ~Tree List~ The Board has approved these trees as 'replacements' for streets in Andover Forest ---------------------------------- Blackgum: Andover Forest Dr., Chetford Dr., Helmsdale Place (these three streets now have only pear trees) Honeylocust: Bridlington Rd., Cheltenham Dr., Darlington Circle, Haverford Way, Kettering Court, and Sherborne Place. Red Maple: Althorp Way, Aylesbury Circle, Brighton Place Dr., Eagle Point Ct., Grantham Way, Penbroke Place, Sheffield Place, Wakehurst Ct, and Weymouth Ct. ~NEWS~ in the Forest: Recommendation from a resident on SKUNKS: ~~~~~~~~~~~ "I saw a skunk(s) under my deck some months ago and utilizing both of these methods, my skunks haven't been seen since. Trapping is such a mess - if they spray then the odor permeates EVERYTHING for weeks." ~~~~~~~~~~~ #1 - Spread 'moth balls' around all areas they are attracted to or could be nesting. (These can be toxic to domestic animals) #2 - Purchase a commercial 'repellent' - in granular form' that is organic, not harmful to domestic animals and can be easily sprinkled into areas that they have been attracted to - that uses the scent of a 'predator' (fox urine) to repel them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ SKUNK FYI: By using www.Google.com - you can search for 'Skunk Repellent' and many sites come up. There is a product called Shake-Away that seems to fit the bill. This site had some 'free shipping offers' too. It is a Predator Scented product that repels these animals naturally. It can be purchased in 20 oz. to many pound size containers.
From what I can tell - it might also be available locally at Ace Hardware Another online site is www.Critter-Repellent.com. Leaf Collection Map  Leaf Dates at-a-glance:
