We were looking at using 5 gallon buckets as swarm traps. I tried about a
1/3 cup of Clorox in a bucket filled with water overnight . I then swabbed
the bucket with pure Clorox. I "estimate" 90%  smell was removed.
We are going to dip them in a barrel of boiling water /old wax.
Now this is free-a myth buster straight from Greenbrier N Alabama. Did you 
know that a skunk
can still spray if you pick it up by its tail? But that Clorox will remove
all smell from the skin if applied quickly enough.
Now, I just happened to hear about this you understand :)
In the book of Proverbs it says "The way of a transgressor is hard" Our 
redneckification of that passage goes something like this:
"If you gonna be dumb you better be tough."
