Our house sits on a cbs foundation- the crawl space is closed and ventilation is provided by grates, but somehow a family of skunks got in. They removed some of the insulation from beneath the house and are living beneath the wood floor. I was suspicious of the constant skunk smell and the times my dog had gotten skunked recently but tonight I saw one of them, dancing with his little hind legs in the air. I took the .22 air rifle and popped a couple of shots- missed both times. My dog then went in and got skunked and spooked it. So, my question is: how can I get rid of this skunk family? Do skunks go into traps? We have a large havahart trap I can set down there. Any other suggestions? I love them but the stench is too much and they are tearing up insulation and who knows what else. I guess that means that I only love them at a distance.
