Due to the many problems caused by the large skunk population this year, the Wyatt Farm HOA Board arranged for skunk traps to be set throughout our neighborhood for two weeks in August. This resulted in 13 skunks being captured and removed. The technicians at Blue Ridge Wildlife Management, who administered the effort, thought those results were well above average, especially given the size of the area we were covering.
The HOA Board concluded that, although the process was expensive, it was almost certainly worth it in this case. Thank you for your input on this issue!
