A town in Illinois fed up with skunks is offering a little green to be rid of the stinky problem.
Vernon Hills is offering people $75 for each skunk that is trapped and removed from the village, WGN reported.
Officials say that while the area has been dealing with a skunk problem for awhile, this year's mild, wet spring has caused a spike in the skunk population.
Skunks are most active this time of year because they are storing up fat for winter, wildlife experts told WGN.
