What do you do with Skunks?
Hello! I'm brand new here on the forums.
My tenants just reached out to me that a skunk has been coming by pretty often. They are terrified of skunks. I called a wildlife control company and they quoted me $250 to get rid of the skunk ($125 trap and $125 relocate). What's to say it won't come back?
What do you all recommend?

I've heard the moth ball trick works. But that price for trapping and relocation sounds very reasonable, for my area at least.
I would only advocate for humane methods and highly disagree that shooting animals in the head is part of being a landlord...
