skunk eviction

[NEPISIGUIT]

Are there any proven methods of detering skunks from ones property short of capturing them in cages or traps. There are not a lot of discussions about this topic here but i do get a lot of inquiries about how to deter them from comming around. I have heard all kinds of answers from electric fences, shock devices, chemicals, etc. Can,t seem to get an answer either from computer, or other means. As it is now i tell them that the only sure method is to either treat their lawns to kill the grubs. keep their pets in at night, and to block access under buildings. Am i correct?

I suppose you could fence the entire property with fencing buried into the ground, but seems pretty extreme to me.

I usually advise similar to you, as those are about the only feasible solutions.

One more, keep pet food and water where skunks cant get it.
