Re: Skunk problem
I deal with skunks all the time in the summer as I work at a provincial park in Manitoba. We likely trapped 25 skunks and 50 raccoons this summer, it was a bad one.
For the racoons we relocate them and for the skunks they are terminated. Like you have said it is possible to drown them but in reality that is not the most human way of doing things(we have used a big rain barrel in the past). We also have made a gas chamber at work were you can slide the trap into and hook it to the tail pipe of a vehicle up.
That being said others have mentioned that there is likely some form of animal control/conservation that would likely be able to assist you in getting rid of the pest once they are caught.
Finally as for baiting we have found that for skunks the best bait is something fishy Anchovies, sardines and left over fish guts work really well.
