The best way to keep a skunk from spraying in your garden is to make sure there are no sources of food or water nearby. You can also try setting up barriers such as fencing, netting, or other physical deterrents that will prevent the animal from entering your garden. If you have an outdoor cat, it may be beneficial to remove any potential attractants near the garden area and provide alternative areas for them to hunt. Finally, if possible, you can discourage the skunk by making loud noises, using deterrent sprays, or playing recordings of skunks in distress.
