How can I get rid of a skunk in my backyard?

You could try to scare the skunk away by making loud noises or clapping your hands. You could also use an air horn, which may be more effective than clapping. If you are able, you could also move any potential nesting materials away from your house and yard so that the skunk has no place to build its den. Additionally, you could try using deterrents such as ammonia-based products, which might help repel the skunk.
