The best way to prevent a skunk from spraying in your garden is to make sure it has plenty of escape routes. Place tall fences or screens around any areas you don’t want them to get into, and provide other hiding places such as burrows or hollow logs for them to use. You can also try setting up deterrents such as loud noises, bright lights, and motion-activated sprinklers.
