Get Rid of Skunks

If you use a trap to get rid of skunks that will instantly kill the animal, that skunk may release its smelly oils upon death. To successfully get rid of skunks without the stench and without harming the animal, a live cage trap will just about be your best bet. Baiting the trap with the essential lures and baits you will have caught yourself a skunk in no time. The key to getting rid of skunks is to not agitate the skunk, causing it to spray its smelly oils. Getting rid of skunks should be a slow, careful, and smooth process. Take slow quiet steps toward the trap getting close enough to lay some sort of cover over the trap to provide safety from your self and the skunks spray. After the cage trap is covered you can then get rid of the skunk by transporting it out of its territory into unfamiliar territory to release it and be sure the skunk does not know its path back.
