There is a skunk in my front yard! How can I get rid of it?

I just saw him walking past, very slowly. There are stray cats in the area, and I just know it's going to spray, or else get in our garage and die. How can I get rid of this bold skunk who is waddling around in my grass in broad daylight?There is a skunk in my front yard! How can I get rid of it?
If you have an animal control division, call them or even the police and fast. Skunks are generally nocturnal, and if one is out in the daylight, it has been injured or is ill. It could be as bad as rabies. Make sure you stay away from it. Good luck!There is a skunk in my front yard! How can I get rid of it?
Read up!


Skunk removal isn鈥檛 hard. The trick is to do most of the work while the skunk is out foraging so you don鈥檛 risk getting sprayed. Sprinkle a light layer of flour, chalk, or other white powder around it鈥檚 den and wait until nightfall. After dark, return and look for tracks leading away to indicate that the skunk has left in search of food and then get to work sealing up all of the entrances (barriers were covered in the previous section). If you do this right the skunk will not be able to get back in. If he does, wait until the next evening and try again.





Bright light - Skunks are nocturnal and prefer to stay hidden, flooding an area with light can be an effective deterrent. Use flood lights in combination with motion sensors.


Automated sprinklers - Contech manufactures a device called 鈥楾he Scarecrow鈥?which is essentially a sprinkler attached to a motion sensor that will spray any animals that wander into your yard.


Spicy pepper solutions - Pepper sprays are reported to work well but must be reapplied every few days to remain effective.


Commercial repellents - There are many available types, people have also reported success with commercial dog and cat repellents.





Good luck!
Get moth balls or moth ball granules and spread/sprinkle around the house and yard. Animals will avoid them. Make sure there is no food or garbage laying around that is attracting him.
Call animal control. Don't approach it something may be wrong with it if its out in broad daylight.
spray him with a hose from a distance or get a flash light ands shine it on him and or make loud noises....gl
Call animal control?
hit him with a brick. or throw a egg out far away they love eggs. if you live in the city they sould do something about it (haha)
The best thing to do will be to just shoot it.
idk it may be sick. let it go away it self or get some sorta animal repellant
just don't go out and try to hit it with something, it would suck if you got sprayed
