Skunk Problems

[tooldummy]

A guy I work with called me this morning with a problem. He lives in a small town and the county he lives in does have animal control and will come out on the occasional dog complaint, but that is about it.

My friend problem is skunks under his trailer. I guess he trapped one the other night and did shoot it. He isn’t home much, so trapping is pretty much out of the question. And shooting in town is going to get him in trouble. I told him I didn’t know what he should do. I guess he sees them out sometimes during the day occasionally.

One of the farm supply places suggested putting cayan pepper under his trailer, so he bought a bunch of that but so far doesn’t think it is helping. Does anybody have any ideas to encourage the skunks to find a new home? He said to thank anyone that offers an idea for their help.
