I had skunks under our porch once and called Peregrine Pest control. They trapped them, took them away and that was that. I think it was about $140/trip or something like that.

I know some have put orange peels in the spot as they dont like the citris or acid. Or put some bright motion lights to blare into the hole...they hate that.
Or you could just wait for them and use silent 22 rounds...best option.
I had skunks under my deck a few summers ago too. I called animal control and they told me to go out onto the deck first thing in the morning and piss through the boards, down onto where they were staying. Within a week they were gone and I power washed the deck off. Worked like a charm.
orange peel
turpentine oil
genetically-modified spray-painted bees
great horned owls
agent roomba
motion lights, and finally
actually pissing on it...
oh, the reliably irreplaceable ingenuity of the CP brain trust!..

Borrow a neighbors black cat. Use some white paint for stripe. When you release the cat at least one of the skunks, the french male one, will follow the cat. Not sure how to get rid of the rest of them.

Sylvester, my most favourite Bugs Bunny character...

I admit, it’s been a couple of decades since I watched a BB cartoon... Did Pepe not try to have an affair with good old Sylvester?

We have had luck with critter ridder, but I’m sure you could just use cayenne pepper too. Put a whole bunch at their entrance and try to shine a light under the porch too. Ours moved on after a few days.

We had squirrels living in our columns. We called 311. They either sent someone or referred us, can't remember. Anyway, guy came. Set a bunch of traps. Came back a day.or.two later and they were gone.
I had a client who had mice living under a boardwalk feature he had next to his house. He tried to smoke them out, and started it on fire somehow. The fire spread to his gas meter and it burned a hole through the side of his house. The smoke damage it did to the interior of the dwelling was pretty incredible.
True story.
