follow him!!
the hole is within a hundred feet of your house....i guarentee it !
they (skunks) .......dont travel to far from their burrow...
as soon as you can find that hole
and shove a running garden hose
into it and make it (no longer desirable) a bad hole...
he'll/she'll........... be moving out of your neighborhood.

its a small hole.... size of a grapefruit... or smaller..
remember skunks have big fluffy fur like a cat
and get them wet and they are real skinny
rule of thumb with critters is
if they can get their head thru the hole
they can get their body in there too |

tiger piss is sold at the zoo...i think..
someones selling it...i know...
anyways, the reason for the post:
apply a grub killer chemical to your backyard
if you have a grub problem...a shovel full of dirt/lawn or two
turned over will reveal that...soon enough
remove that food source ...and they'll look elsewhere.
btw: skunks like rainy weather ...even in the daylight. |

Get rid of the grubs in your lawn that the skunk is eating and he might go live elsewhere.
