They will not spray if in a box trap.
Just relocate if leagle.
Most states make you kill them.
They make a kit you can buy that is a syringe+poison.
Stick them in the heart and they won’t spray.
I did some wildlife control work. I hated killing skunks because they are so docile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I was growing up on a farm, we used to have free range chickens that would go into coops at night. Skunks were always a problem as they would reach in through the slats and pull a leg out and eat it. It was always a challenge to get the coops tight enough so that wasn’t possible.

Anyway, my Dad had a trap set up and I watched him reach in and grab the skunk. There was always a folklore that if you grab a skunk by the tail, it can’t spray and he wanted to prove that one way or another. I watched him do it a few times and I can confirm... if you grab a skunk by the tail and hold it up, it can’t spray.
