I set the live trap on top of a little fish emulsion.  They'll smell the fish from a distance and detour there.  It's about time for them to start appearing as people in town trap them and let them go out here "where nobody lives."  A shot to the heart kills instantly and keeps them from spraying.

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.
