You don't need to kill skunks. If it's legal in your state, it's easier to trap them in live cage traps and relocate them. Even if you do intend to kill the animal, it's easier to catch in a live trap than by lethal means. Some folks like to shoot and kill skunks, but if you just want them off your property, you can have a professional trap and remove them. And don't forget, if you do try to kill a skunk, get ready for a big smell. Killing skunks is generally a bad idea.

Here we see an skunk caught via a 120 Connibear or body grip type trap. These photos came from a trapper in another state. I've never seen (or smelled) a skunk here in Florida, although apparently they do exist. If this type of trap is legal in your state, you can set it over the hole they are using, and it will catch the animal coming in or going out. This type of trap will very quickly kill the animal. It's not the type of trap a homeowner could likely buy, and definitely not the type a novice could set, so call a pro if you want this type of skunk exterminating. My company cannot offer this type of service, and I only do live cage trapping.
