I would suggest the tried and true method of luring him away with a female skunk. Since you may not want to take the chance of checking random skunks to see if they are male or female you might want to just get a female black cat and paint a white stripe on it. Sometimes cats will randomly get a white stripe because someone has recently painted a fence that they walk under or a road crew is painting the lines on the street and they accidentally paint the cat but since this is not likely you should just grab a random female black cat and give it a white stripe. You can also rub it with limburger cheese to make it smell more authentic. This should stir the loins of your neighborhood skunk who will hop away in pursuit of his new found love.

If that does not work you may have to purchase a copy of the Rosetta Stone for French. It is my understanding that all skunks are fluent in French and hopefully you will be able to persuade him to move to a different neighborhood once you are able to converse with him in his native tongue.

Anyway these are just my random thoughts based upon watching WAY too much TV as a kid. If neither of these works you may just have to follow ZAMA80's suggestion and BLAAAAST him with a 12 gauge.

I was going to say suppressed .22, but that'd require a long waiting period... and not living in the People's Republic of Kommiefornia.

Most skunks will book it out of there if they realize that humans are nearby. Most of the suggested ideas should work.
