Dang ...really thanks alot for all the suggestions, I didnt think it would get this kind of response. You guys and gals are great. Still trying but no luck as of tonight.

try a dirty diaper... lol a skunk (not a coon) keeps getting into my trash outside and for some odd reason goes for my 4month olds dirty diapers. lol. hope you get'em, had a shot at mine but i missed..

I posted a thread like this not too long ago and I think I've finally caught the last one from my neighborhood den.

I've caught 4 this year so far. I've put the trap in different locations but next to the trash can seems to be the most visited. I also threw moth balls in their den to drive them away for a bit, it didn't keep them away for long.

I have caught them on left over orange chicken, boiled eggs, and the best, having caught two skunks and 2 opossums already, was my wife's half empty fruit drinks from sonic, especially the one's with strawberries in it.

Put the trap up against the house or fence, preferbly in a corner. Small animals like to travel up against the house or fence line.

When you catch one, if you live in the city, call your local animal control. They will come out and dispose of the animal for you.

Update!

Well this morning in the 2 traps I caught the neighbors cat on sardines and caught a possum on shrimp...LOL Cat was released and she was really embarrassed, she always thinks she's "all that"

take a leg hold trap, make the best, prettiest fox or bobcat set, make it perfect...and you will catch a skunk. lol

Problem with that is, most of the antifreeze you buy now is non toxic. In fact I don't remember the last time I saw a jug that was.

I hate skunks, I kill every one I see.

I got sprayed by one many years ago while getting hay bales out of the barn.

When I get a good whiff of that smell, Makes me want to puke.

Plus, you never know when one might be rabid

I have caught dozens using live chickens for bait. Skunks love a free chicken dinner. You don't have to buy a special live trap. Simply wire a small cage to the side of any live trap. You will catch one every night, or more if you reset the trap. Put out fire ant bait, because they seem to have a taste for chicken as well. Live chickens absolutely work every time.

My neighbors will think Im devil worshiping if I come home with live chickens! LOL

conibear over the hole...

sit on your pourch with a 22. and shoot them.

put a can of tuna fish out with rat bait mixed into it.

we keep skunks, coons, possums, snakes just about any critter from our buildings with moth balls. Just pour box down the hole, and scatter some along the foundation.
