When the show about the exterminator caught a skunk, he covered the
trap with a cloth,
moved very slowly and quietly to put it in the back of his pick up.
When at his destination
to release, he again moved the trap slowly and reached down and opened
the trap.
He then removed the cloth and jumped away. Skunk finally ambled away,
and he and his
trap went home. No spraying.
Good Luck.
My DH just shoots the squirrels, and so does the neighbor. We back up
to woods
and I thought the 2 of them were just entertaining themselves, but we
seem to have
made some kind of dent. Haven't seen any in a couple of months, and
the birdseed isn't
disappearing. Too bad you are in a neighborhood. Again Good Luck.
