[Hot Tabasco]

I live trapped this skunk a few days ago then released it after I closed up the entrance hole under my deck with the original dirt and bricks. Damn if the critter didn't return and dug out the bricks and got back under the deck.

Trap it again and have the trapper take it far, far away.

Shoot it. Now before it has little skunks. Not kidding. They are tough to get rid of. Short of taking it 20 miles away, it will come back.

This is a touchy time of year since these critters are usually giving birth to their babies.

I would be inclined to try and trap it again and dispose of it but that would leave babies under the deck that would die and continue to stink up the place.

Any thoughts would be appreciated........

As a side note, considering the effort it gave to re-excavate the entrance hole, it's quite likely that it does have babies under the deck.......

Tell that skunk the Mueller Report is being released in its entirety.

He’ll come scurrying out right away to see!

Throw stuff at it til it runs into your garage, then close the door and leave it for a month or so.

(Well, that’s what an old neighbor did...and it did work, finally)

Spring make noise piss it off...leave it alone it will move on, kids too

Rebrick, then place a fake owl above on the railing.

Get a female skunk to trap it and lure it out. Anway, that worked on Pepe LePew in the cartoons. OoLaLa.

Trap it again and shoot it this time, we have repeatedly tried to release them, far, far from home and somehow they always come back.

[BuffaloJack]

I’d leave it alone. This is the time of year when little skunks are born. A few weeks after this happens they will usually wander off to more suitable grounds.

“Hot Tabasco,” and you want to know how to discourage a skunk?
Look for one of those pest repellents with pepper in it. A bottle of tabasco or any hot pepper sauce ought to help.

[Sacajaweau]

Be wise....Call animal control.

In the meantime....maybe sprinkle some of the Hot Tabasco on the entrance.

Never touch a skunk. Rabies is too common.

[JoSixChip]

1) Shoot and shovel.
2) Never speak of it again.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I’ve shot them in the head but don’t scare it or shoot the body. They are the worst for rabies.

[Buttons12]

I used pepper spray on a squirrel who seemed a little too interested in the space under my pool heater. He never came back.
