A couple of weeks ago our neighbor caught a skunk in a live trap.Our 10-month-old cat Zorro attacked it through the mesh.Lot of spitting and screeching but no spray. Neighbor chased the cat off, so Zorra ran across the road and attacked a flock of wild turkeys. Wound up riding a turkey's back down the ravine and into the bushes. Came home an hour later.Then neighbor shot the skunk and the whole neighborhood went rank.

What John said. Never had to do it, but I recall a radio show where the "voice of authority" said the real solution was feminine douche, cited the powerful deodorizers.
Kind of old topic. Unfortunately, I became relevant tonight. My 20lb mix got the over spray from a skunk tonight. Not a direct shot thankfully. Didn't immediately notice when I let her in. Thanks to the encyclopedic knowledge here, I found a helpful older thread in the archives. I learned that these ingredients could help and indeed they work well. I would suggest a double batch mixed up in a stopped tub. I stocked up for future needs.Mix 1 quart hydrogen peroxide, � cup baking soda, and 1 teaspoon DawnI live beside an railroad easement which has been turned into a bike trail. Now it harbors skunks and other undesirable city vermin. I'm going to put a live trap to work and try to remove the skunk(s). Can't shoot them in the city. Hardly see them anyway. I have a trap, but not sure what to bait it with.
I once had to remove a skunk from my brothers barn. I put a six foot rope onto the handle of a havahart trap. I baited it with cat food and the next morning he was in there. I got a 6x6 blue plastic tarp and held it in front of me to approach the trap. They won't spray if they don't see you. I lay the tarp over the trap and carried it draped over the trap with the skunk inside. I went to the neighbors boat dock and lowered the trap into the water. This taught the skunk to hold his breath for the rest of his life.. With the trap in the water, I removed the tarp and tied the rope to a cleat. I came back half an hour later and took him to the dumpster. He had never sprayed inside the trap. I dumped the trap and the job was done with almost no scent at all. I don't know how long he held his breath since I didn't stay to watch but I am certain that he didn't cheat and take another. If you have to get rid of a skunk, this is the most scentless way to do it.
you should have went underwater and had a "see who could hold your breath the longest" contest Not a fan of skunks, but I would have released them into a wooded area. except for humans, all critters do some good. skunks keep insects and mice in check.
Whose wooded area? One of the problems we have here is people coming out from the city and dumping animals in "a field" or on "a farm" or "in the woods", never thinking about the fact that someone OWNS it and lives there, and doesn't want your problems dumped on them ....Lannis
Ever hear of a state forest, nature preserve? Or do you live a condo, off main st.? So if you find a raccoon, possum, or woodchuck, you just drown them? a little twisted are we?
So when you have an animal to relocate, you take it to a "State Forest" or a "Nature Reserve"?Got one of those real close by? Maybe map that for us so we'll know how far to travel with a skunk in a Hav-A-Hart trap.Lannis
