Awhile back a family of Skunks decided to setup housekeeping and make a den under one of my sheds. My yard dog caught killed a couple of young ones making a stinky mess. I could have caught them by trapping, but my past experience trapping skunks was it is a stinky job that I did not want to deal with.
Talking to a local farmer down the road and he suggested gas bombs he used for ridding rats and woodchucks, he said they worked great and were safe, put them down their holes and cover and it is lights out.
So I got a couple of packages and followed the instructions, lighting the fuse and pushing them down the den hole. Looks like they worked, no Skunk signs or activity.
