If a skunk doesn’t leave your house, forcible removal may be the only option left. You can do this yourself by planting a trap under your house while closing off all but one entrance to the skunk’s den. You should set up the trap in this one entrance and then check the trap at least twice a day. Consider using a single door cage trap and placing food in it to incentivize the skunk to go in the trap. Then cover the trap with a blanket so no light comes through and, as a result, the skunk can feel safe. Once the skunk has been trapped, simply remove the cage (leaving the blanket over it) and bring the skunk to a skunk friendly environment or local professional. Another popular trap for dealing with skunks is a one-way door trap. If you close off all the other entrances and put this trap under your house, the skunk can leave its den (the bottom of your house) but the door won’t open to enable its return.
