Sprinkle moth balls or moth flakes around, they don't like the smell and will leave. Not sure if this is the case everywhere but in New Jersey it is illegal to kill/trap a skunk. Don't know why but it is. We once had a skunk get under our house. Called animal control who said they can not help us as they were not permitted to trap skunks. The person suggested getting a few boxes of moth balls/flakes. Skunks, raccoons, Possums, etc. don't like the smell and will eave. It worked. Had to do it again not to long ago when a plumber didn't properly secure the crawl space door and a possum family moved in.
