My lawn is being torn up by a skunk(i think) I understand if I get rid of the food the skunk will go to, but what can I do to keep the skunks away until sping when I can put some grubex down?
Not a whole lot. About the only way to discourage them is to fence off (chicken wire) all places where they might be able to spend the day. That moves them off to somewhere else but I don't know how far they'll travel to feed.
