Last year I caught around 3 dozen skunks in a two week period and didn't have any spray. These were all outside catches though. When skunks are in the house things change a little. After the leasing agents maintenance guy opened the door and the skunks got out I was able to inspect the entire basement and my original assumption was correct in that the two skunks couldn't get back out the way they had got into the house and were stuck in the basement. I didn't want to turn the skunks loose onto someone else and the call was not mine to make. I did catch one out of the crawl and inspected it before I sealed the holes up.
