A few years back we got invaded and over ran with skunks...prior to that you just about had to cross the river into Virginia to see one. I don't know where they all came from, but they are here now...all that said, the best way to deal with them is this: set a live trap and catch the thing. Walk up to the trapped skunk while hiding behind a tarp or blanket until you can cover the trap with the tarp. They don't see the tarp or blanket as danger so they wont spray. Spray starting fluid into the covered trap until he goes to sleep. Spray enough and he will not wake up. If he is still alive but sleeping from the spray and you shoot him he will involuntarily release scent and reek up the whole neighborhood. Believing he will "just magically go away" might work, but don't count on it. They have this bad habit of hanging around and showing up at the worst possible time. You could end up face to face and get sprayed if you don't get rid of him asap.
