Default Need Country Boy advise

Listen normally in the outdoors stuff people come to me for advise, but I have a Skunk living around my house, he got one of my pups a couple of weeks back and every couple of days I get a good wiff of him right around my deck area. Now I found a approx 5 - 6 inch hole which I believe may be his den right near the deck.
Whats the best way to make him not like it here anymore, or get rid of him.

I have had a lot of success with believe or not using rags soaked in a pine cleaner or a mint spray found at pet stores for fleas...

A have-a-heart trap and a barrel of water

I use to take a .22 and that would make them leave also

But I have a friend who lives in the woods, He takes some women stockings and makes bags on moth balls and hangs them under his deck, porch and sheds, no more wood chucks or skunks!!

You can also buy (at most garden shops) fox urine. (You cannot smell it) Foxes are the natural predators of skunks, cats, chucks, etc. It comes in a squeeze bottle and you just outline/spray the area you want to keep the pests out of.. they smell the urine, think it's a fox marking it's territory, think it's not safe to go there and go somewhere else to live, leaving you garden (and porch) alone. You'll need to renew the treatment about once a month and more often if it rains a lot, but after a while the pests get the idea and stear clear of your place anyways..

Well Fox urine is something I know about and it definetly smells and strongly as a matter of fact, hunters and trappers use it as a cover scent. Unless they do something to take the stink out of that product.
Not only that but I already have a den of them here so I don't think that one will work.
