I need to know how to get rid of a skunk in my yard.

First, make sure you have a secure enclosure for the skunk. This can be as simple as a wire mesh fence with an opening that is large enough for the skunk to pass through but small enough to keep it contained. Make sure the fence is tall and secure so that predators cannot reach into your yard. You should also provide shelter for the skunk such as a box or burrow lined with newspaper. Finally, if possible, move all pet food dishes, trash cans, and other sources of food away from the skunk’s area.
