[RC] Skunks - Spottedracer

Couple ideas:

Skunks leave to forage at night... so wake up around midnight and seal up the entrance to under your house.. Chicken wire and nails work well...

Rent a trap from your local humane society/dog pound.. or contact local animal removal service... They're fairly easy to trap.. though I wouldn't want to approach that full trap myself!

Put a boom box under the house - and plenty of lights... Turn everything on REALLY loud and bright!  Do this for a week.. Skunks avoid light and noise.. (Make sure to install this at night - when the skunks aren't 'home' **grin**)

Make sure all of your kitchen trash and horse feed - is secured so that you're not giving the skunk an easy food source. It's harder to get them to leave if there's food!
