Sardines are the best bait for live traps, IMO.  You may get raccoons, foxes and cats as well as skunks. Two people can (slowly and carefully) walk a large tarp up to the trap and cover it to keep from getting sprayed. If you 'pop' one before it sees you it probably won't spray.

Hello,

I need to eliminate/remove a skunk or two that have taken up residency
around our home/shed.  Tried my favorite bait (marshmallows) in the live
trap with no success.

Suggestions are appreciated.

If I go out at night and 'pop' one, will it dump a load of spray?  Not keen
on that as they are quite close to the house.
