At least is isn't skunks. When I was a kid we had some skunks move in under our house. It took two weeks to get rid of them and everyone gave us funny looks when we went into a store.

Ya it did if we were in there very long. Funny thing is you get used to the smell after a while and you don't even notice it anymore.

A 12ga pump with open choke oughta do it. After you blast a few holes they should be large enough to let the critters just fall out. :thup:

Get a piece of plywood, lay it in front of the access hole and sprinkle it with flour. Check it the next day and see which way the feet prints are going. If the feet prints are "leaving" then you can seal the hole up.

since i boarded the hole up last weekend i havent heard a noise. so he must not have been home when i blocked his access. i think a shotgun would have been way too much. and my rifle too little. i would have probably missed him with the rifle. i wasnt prepared to replace my sheetrock and roof withthe hole a shotgun would have made.
