Thanks.....Good info. I can't use gasoline as people sit on the deck all day/night long.....I did spray hornet spray under there. A whole can. It is very oily/smelly and I figure the skunk would not like the oiliness of it. The people told me they did not see it last night. maybe it worked.

....if using gasoline is a no-go....then using fox urine.... which is expensive and available at Ship's Gun Shop in Bristol .... is a good Plan B.

Call the Moultonboro Police Department...they'll send out one of their seasoned officers to handle the situation by attempting to shoot it at point blank range while missing and spraying your car with rocks from the bullets.

I'm not kidding, a couple years ago a friend in Suissevale had a skunk that wouldn't move from their yard. A female officer showed up and unloaded almost a full magazine on the thing continuously missing and shooting the ground. As neighbors came out to see what was going on, she ordered everyone back into their homes immediately. Honestly, one of the more comical events to happen.

Default Skunk

Call Trell at 603-651-8515. He pulled a 40 pount raccoon out of our boat a few years ago with a snare. He has a way wildlife that you don't see very much anymore.

Havahart trap. When you catch it fill a trash can full of water and drop the the trap in.

Well we never did anything with it. It was still there and people were having fun watching it waddle across the deck and try to squeeze through the balusters.... So far no spraying and I have not heard about it in a few days so maybe it left from all the noise on the deck at night. If someone gets sprayed I'm sure I'll hear about it....and get blamed too.....

The remedy I suggested actually came from Mass Fish and Wildlife. My buddy had 3 skunks living under his deck. He successfully trapped them in havaheart traps and relocated them down the road. Two days later they were back. I told him to call fish and game and see what they say. He followed their advice. Problem solved.
