I loaned a large live trap to friends with skunk problems at a horse barn. So far they have trapped and relocated 8 skunks using dog biscuits for bait. They throw a tarp over the trap, load the trap in the back of a pick-up and take the critter for a ride for remote release. They have managed this without getting “skunked”.
Now skunks can travel quite a ways so maybe some of the 8 made more than one round trip.
So you can carefully do-it-yourself or hire someone but plan on more than one.
