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

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

Here in Contra Costa County, California the group that sprays for mosquitos also handles skunks. They bring you a trap and you are supposed to notify them when a skunk is caught and the come with a CO2 euthanasia box and do in the skunk. Unfortunately for us, they did not tell us not to trap on Fridays or Saturdays because they are not available and do not want the animal to suffer over the weekend. So we caught one the first Friday night, decided that we didn’t really want it put down, so we loaded up the trap, drove about ten miles and released it (which in and of itself is problematic because Skunks are nocturnal, don’t want to exit the trap “voluntarily, and have the means to make you very sorry you considered their wellbeing. The other thing we found out that relocaating a Skunk ( who was otherwise going to be euthanized) is a felony by state law. The other interesting outcome is that sometimes you get something in the trap other than a skunk. Like a Raccoon, the neighbors cat, or a highly POed bird.

Spread bleach around. Pool shock would work too.

You could also try a Bird-X Yard Guard Pest Repeller.
It makes an annoying noise.
