What solution is used to put around your property to keep skunks away?

Answer 1

Generous amounts of mothballs in cloth bags, or ammonia-soaked cloths act as smell repellents for skunks(although neither is registered with the EPA as such). There are also a host of professional formulas, such as Rid-A-Critter, that act as skunk deterrents. These deterrents rarely work if a skunk has established itself in a territory. You may have to trap an established Skunk first (check with animal control first to find out if trapping is legal in your area). .

Answer 2

A fence with very fine mesh, or a wooden fence. Some skunks can fit in a one inch opening. Fence the yard and it will help.

SKunks love to dig for grubs in the garden, so the more yummy treats in your yard, the more enticing your yard will be.

If you have a wood pile or shed, the skunk may find that an attractive place to sleep under during the day.

It's very hard to keep a skunk out, as they can fit through tiny holes, they can dig under things, they can climb up things, and they aren't even fazed by dogs.

Don't put cat or dog food outside, as that attracts them too.

You can try a urine product such as fox pee (do a search), but I don't know how effective it will be.

Answer 3

There are Hunting Stores that sell urine from diffrent animal species- These will keep the varmits away- but you have to keep reapplying the urine to keep them away-
- try Fox, Coyote, Bobcat, or Mountain Lion- Urine.
As these large predators, would tend to eat or attack skunks, This should solve the problem.
