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."
