Approach the problem per Kat & Liz, above, OR Just let it alone, avoid poking it in the eye with a sharp stick. It'll sleep most of the winter & leave in the spring.

Folks think these guys are aggressive- not so. You've damn near got to
step on'em to get them to spray you. I've live trapped & transferred a bunch of 'em with no problems.

Now, if you've got dogs, its a different story. Dogs are too damn stupid to leave em' alone- even after they've got themselves sprayed.

& hey, Kat- skunks ain't rodents, they're weasels! ;>)

Best, Greg
