Ok we do not like skunks in the back yard. What do skunks hate to come across. any deterent ideas??

Question

it deceided to live under the back shed. we know where it "nests"

Answer 1

Try plain old household ammonia.  They hate the stuff!  What we did when one took up residence under our one shed was soak some rags with ammonia, took a pole and stuffed the rags in the entrance hole and left.  Next morning early, we blocked up the entrance hole and that was the end of it.  

Tip came from my husbands cousin, he's a game warden.

Answer 2

Strong lights and noise....put some flood lights and a radio in the area where they nest.

Remove any food sources like outdoor dog dishes, garbage cans, etc...

Answer 3
