SKUNKS
I live in a relative new area, about 5 years and of course we new settlers shewed away skunks, raccoons and rabbits. This year has been very bad for skunks in our garden. Every hole we closed up, just to find next day another new entrance from Mr. Skunk (or Mrs .Skunk). Any idea how to get less visits without using unsafe methods? Hope to hear, sincerely Edelweiß!

Taking away the food helps a lot. If you can't annoy it away with music, maybe try annoying it away with a yappy little dog. My neighbor has one of those and creatures occasionally move in under her shed, but they move out pretty quick because of the non-stop barking.
If it's just skunks, I wouldn't worry about it too much. They give you plenty of time to get away before they decide to spray. You have to be trying real hard to get sprayed by a skunk.
