Seriously though. I would try a couple decoy owls. Ones that move in the wind. I had one on my roof for a long time to keep pigeons away. Dirty buggers they are ,,

And if that don't work , get a picture of Imdoon in his birthday suit and no one or nothing will come around ...

years ago I had a similar experience with 5 goats my mom had on he farm , and my mom would not pen them up . I had a 1974 dodge adventure sport that was my 1st ride and I washed it every day , but theses effen goats would clime up on the roof and **** everywhere ... I tried everything to keep them off .... so one spring day I filled a red 5 gallon plastic pail with water and put a lid on it , set it on top of the truck, sprinkled some oats on the lid and sat back and waited..... sure enough here come all 5 stupid goats , they climbed up and started nibbling on the top of the pail , so I took carefull aim with my dads 30-06 ..... BOOOOOOOM .... no more MOFO goats onna MOFO truck it was funny , goats, water an red plastic flying everywhere ...... so ya try this but with a smaller rifle .............. PS ..... no goats where harmed during this science project, my dad patted me on the shoulder and said , hell I would of never thought of that .... my mom call me a little bastard

A skunk will not spray if it can't lift its tail. They will spray in an enclosed trap if there's room. Been there done that. Used a large UFA screen trap once, put the rodent in the back of my RZR for a trip to the creek. All hell broke loose before I got to the creek. It was a bad day.

Further to that, it is because they have to have their back legs on something. When my wife was back on the farm and they would have skunks under the buildings or chase them in the fields, she would be quick and grab them by the tail and lift them up and no spray (ya', I know, my woman is a crazy one!). I'll have to ask her what she did with them after she was holding them off the ground.
