then no need to kill them with spray (and have the poison in your environment for no real reason) if you are spraying as a barrier that is different. but those things are slow moving and while it may seem like a lot, they aren't like ants or a swarm of bees. save $, time, and your exposure for something that really needs spray. or do it thoroughly and treat the whole lawn. by the way skunks love those things.
