OP, I had an identical situation once with a pair of smallish skunks that made a home in my back yard. Never once during the year that I first discovered them did they ever threaten to spray and I must have seen them at least fifty times. Eventually they moved on. I actually enjoyed having them around but then I'm the type who hangs hummingbird feeders in the yard. I don't use insecticides or herbicides by choice. Sure, it means a little extra yard work but that is in itself an enjoyable and satisfying process, particularly when I see the various interesting birds that forage in the yard. So thanks for not thinking of living things just as pests to be exterminated.

I have from time to time seen a skunk late at night outside and they came to the window and watched me inside as do raccoons. That's why my plan is still to find a way to have him out so I can seal the holes and he can go live next door and only pay me visits.

@jgoens - I know you have a soft spot for animals, but this will not end well for you or anyone around you.
While you may not look to provoke these rodents (yes they are rodents), that does not mean a snake, dog, coyote, or any other number of predator animals could/would provoke their only defense mechanism. |

Rodents are an order of animals whose main defining feature is two pairs of large, chisel-like incisor teeth which grow constantly and must be worn down by eating hard foods or by gnawing - the word 'rodent' comes from the Latin 'rodere', meaning 'to gnaw'. Mice, rats, beavers, guinea pigs, chinchillas, gerbils, hamsters and so on are all rodents. Skunks belong to the order Carnivora. Animals in this order have teeth designed for meat-eating - large canine teeth, small pointed incisors, and shearing carnassial teeth for slicing flesh. Skunks belong to the family Mustelidae, often called the 'weasel family'. Other members of this family include otters, mink, badgers, martens, stoats, polecats, wolverines and, of course, weasels. |

Since there is so much amazing interest in this thread here is the update as miniscule as it is: I loosely put crumpled newspaper in the hole yesterday and came home last night about 10:45 and wandered around the yard with Flashlight and Phone video...but...nothing....and the newspaper was intact. In the morning I checked the newspaper and it had not moved, HOWEVER, there was a new hole right next to the one with the paper in it.
So, he could have easily nudged that paper out of the way but instead decided to dig a new hole. Remember, I am in the "monitoring his behavior" stage right now. Going to block the new hole(with rocks and bricks) and I will check again later in the night. Guys here is an update to the update..just shoved a brick under the new hole and pulled out the newspaper to crumple it up better and it smells like skunk. And, the hole I put a brick and dirt in at the back of the tuff shed has been opened back up.

He can dig well...a couple weeks ago I cut a tree down in my yard and then dug the roots out and pulled the stump..what a pain in the ass...that little bugger could have been helpful for his digging skills--that is one project most people probably aren't in to-- Yeah, I'm a real "learning on the job" DIYer.

Ok man, that's how I feel about things around the house. I know I got to get a new HVAC for my condo that's being rented, but I'd rather get big turbo. Lol. Just be careful! Don't get sprayed! You should totally change your Screenname to JGo! |

He was still wandering around in the back...I sprinkled the ammonium carbonate around the holes..so if he wants to start digging he gets to smell that. I'll see in the morning if there are any new holes...if not..getting chicken wire..if so..the drama continues.
