Skunk living under house need help
I have at least 1 skunk living under my house and need any and all suggestions as to how to lure it out and into a trap. I can see clearly where it is going in and out and have tried unsuccessfully to block access as everything I put there, the skunk just moves it or digs under it. When it sprays under the house my entire house fills with the stench, so this has to stop. HELP

Live trap with bait. Then when its caught call animal control and tell them you think it's rabid. They will take it away.
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

It's breeding season , that's what is causing the spraying , they have other things on their mind now then food so they a little tougher to trap now , I had my first call of this spring the other day , same deal I could smell the essence in the air before I got out of my truck, it looks like you are a little south of my service area or I'd offer to help you out

I'd need more details as to what you are dealing with ? Pics would help even more , you said it keeps digging around the stuff you fill in ?

I had skunks under my shed last spring. I tried raw eggs and fish but caught nothing. Then a friend told me to use peanut butter and the next day it was in the trap.

If you can't trap it and you have no other choice you can put some hershy bars down the hole the skunk is using...They love to eat them but it's a last meal. Kinder then antifreeze, because they feel happy and then just go to sleep.
Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

My dad got rid of one under his house by stuffing newspaper in his entrance hole and then when the paper was pushed out (skunk has left) he pushed a bunch of grills (oven or fridge I think) that he had cut in half down into the ground in front of the area where the skunk was going in. Skunk dug but hit grill and abandoned. Might be worth a shot, at least then you don't have to deal with a skunk in a trap.
Heeere fishy fishy fishy fishy! :fish:

Send your neighbours dog under the house.
