Plants That Might Just Keep Skunks Away
Most people don't like to have skunks on their property, and understandably so. When skunks are around, there is often a persistent low-level odor present, and if one of the skunks sprays, you have to find out how to get rid of the skunk smell. Skunks can also dig holes in your lawn, tip over garbage cans looking for food, and expose you to disease.
All of these are very good reasons to keep skunks out of your yard. Planting flowers and vegetables in your garden that skunks don't like may help, though there is no guarantee of their effectiveness.
