I used to be an animal control officer & the best solution I came up with was mothballs. They hate the smell. Whatever you do don't put out anything to kill them, if they crawl under your house or sidewalk the smell of them rotting is worse than the smell of them spraying!!!

Hello
Contrary to general belief, skunks are not pests. They will only spray when the fell threatened. Do not startle/frighten them.
They are actually beneficial, as they eat grubs. They do not climb as squirrels, chipmonks, and raccoons do. The most damage a skunk does apart from making a big stink is put holes in your lawn to eat the grubs and get into garbage that is not in proper containers.
They are actually a good deterent to other unwanted visitors, human and otherwise.

Call one of the numerous "critter control" companies. Should be able to find them in your phone book under animal control or similar. They'll come out and set traps and then they'll come out and get them once all the babies and mother are contained. The traps are humane and they don't kill the skunks, they'll just relocate them somewhere safe.
Good luck!

Get rid of OR Get RID of?
Seriously though, call animal control. They will come out and trap them for you for relocation to far away.

If the moth balls don't work, put a bright light under the shed if you have room.
