The best way to take care of a problem with skunks on a property is to physically trap and remove the skunks. Skunk trapping isn't terribly difficult - that is, getting the skunk into the cage. Skunks eat a variety of foods. The difficulty can often be in avoiding a spray. If you use an open cage trap, then a skunk could, of course, spray right through it. For this reason, some people like to use solid-walled spray-proof skunk traps. However, a skilled wildlife trapper should never have a problem with spraying.

Approach the animal with caution, and know what signs to look for. If the animal appears agitated, if it is stamping its front paws, or God-forbid it turns its back to you and lifts its tail, then get out of the way. However, it should never come to that. Approach the animal in a non-alarming and non-threatening way, and you should be fine. If in doubt, before you pick up the cage, simply place a cloth of some sort, like a towel, over the cage as you transport the animal. If you are putting it in a vehicle, best to put it in the back of a pickup truck just in case. It's rare that a skunk will spray inside a vehicle, but it can happen from time to time.
