There's a skunk in our basement, we cannot find it after looking everywhere.  Can anyone recommend someone who might have some experience with finding and removing it?  This is not good, we access the home through our basement and right now it's closed off from the rest of the house.  Sure would appreciate any leads to someone who may know how to get rid of it!  Thanks in advance. Feel free to text with any suggestion or willingness to trap 208 720 6889, thanks in advance. (Image for attention only)

I have a live cage trap that I can lend you, not willing to trap it myself for obvious reasons.  As far as I know, if a skunk dies from a neurological interupt (broken neck from a killing trap or mead trauma etc) it will cause a spray release.  If it dies from cardiac interupt (shooting it in the heart) it won't cause a spray release, not sure if that helps.  My number is 250-231-9790
