You can catch them in a Hav-a-hart and I understand they will not spray
if confined although I don't think I'd transport in the trunk of my car.


Covered - that's how the professionals do it, apparently. This is a great
video.

Only one time did I ever trap a skunk that wasn't calmly waiting for release.
That one had sprayed the cage and was snapping and hissing. I called a
professional pest controller to deal with it. That guy told me he suspected
it was rabid. We'd had two reports of rabid foxes attacking people in
the township that summer, and a friend of mine had reported a skunk
staggering in circles in the middle of the road during daylight hours which
he called the police to dispatch. So it seemed a reasonable assumption.

Had to use chlorine bleach + Oxyclean to deoderize the trap and surroundings.

(I was baiting for groundhogs and forgot to close the trap at night.)
