How do I get rid of a skunk living under the porch?

Question

So there is a shunk living under the porch, he sprays sometimes around the house but not too bad. He got into the neighbors house through their cat door, wonderful I know.

So how do I get rid of him? If I call the city (san diego) what do they do? Cost? Would I be better off calling someone else? Anyone whose gone through this before let me know.

Answer 1

call ASPCA

Answer 2

Call Animal control and tell them you have a skunk.  

My neighbor had one under her home in Redlands, and one baby fell into the hole the furnace sits in and died.  

I had a cat die under my home, but removal when they are dead is easier but just as smelly.  

Don't ask us the cost... ask your local animal control.  I don't think they charge...  But call:

Animal control

Humane Officer

SPCA

but CALL TODAY!  Even if it costs it'll be worth it for your sanity. -!-

Answer 3

DONT KILL IT

Answer 4

Spray some bleach around the perimeter of your porch and that should keep him away

Answer 5

Catch a mean neighborhood dog and put him under there.Then the dog will chase it out and you won't have a smelly dog around because it will go back to it's own home. Just kidding.Call the city.They'll take care of it.

Answer 6

We had the same problem. What you do is you can buy a Skunk trap. And set it up. inside put a cracker with peanut butter inside. Then when the skunk walks in to eat the cracker it will shut the side doors and trap the skunk. THIS WILL NOT HURT THE SKUNK. It will be fine but it may get startled so be prepared for the smell.  Then call someone to take the skunk away.
