I really doubt it. I have seen products that claim to repel skunks on the market

The Sonic Spikes have only been tested to repel underground rodents such as moles and gophers. We would not recommend using this product to repel skunks.

All dogs would detect the oder. The reaction of individual an dog would vary. Many would start a search behavior, others not. Many dogs will peruse skunk scent for example. Although probably not a wise choice, skunks are not considered preditors by dogs. I would not recommend this product as repellent for dogs. It actually may have just the opposite effect.

I have put them up to deter all kinds of predators. I have not seen skunks or hawks anywhere near my barn since I put them up. It has something to do with eye shine. It has successfully kept opossums out of my hay barn. Actually nothing has entered my barn since I put them up. I have seen raccoons in the area and I use a live trap in tandem. Before the lights it was a party every night in my barn. There were multiple critters all eating my chickens. Since the lights nothing has entered the barn. I had the trap before the lights and it didn't work. Nothing is perfect,but this is working for me. Hope this helps. I have put them up to deter all kinds of predators.

I use mine to get squirrels, so the bait that will draw a squirrel wouldn't really draw a cat. Not sure what skunks eat, so I don't know if it would be an issue. The bigger issue would be what you would do once the skunk was in the trap, I can't imagine how you would relocate a trapped, nervous skunk to an area where you could let it go without getting sprayed.

No, not at all. It will look a little spooky to them at first, but after a couple of days they will go in and out as usual.Look for the one inch mesh, it will not just prevent birds, it will also prevent possum and raccoon as well.

mine has worked in Colorado on both skunks and raccoons for over a year. it just took about two weeks for the skunks to be convinced that that high frequency sound wasn't going anywhere. good luck.

Not sure about skunk...but i think cat pee smells almost that bad and it works GREAT on that...getting ready to place my second order..

the short answer is "No". We got this to keep a skunk from bothering our chickens. Neighbor's cat visits the chicken pen regularily to hunt for mice.

I'm not sure if this one specifically is used to repel voles and gophers, but some of the recipes I have found call for unrefined castor oil.

I believe if you push it into the ground as far as it will go the sensor will pick up a skunk moving along the ground==we use ours for deer so I'm not positive, but I know my German Shepherd sets it off every time she goes near it!

NO, it will not. I use it all over my gardens to repel Bunnies and it works 100%. I have a dog and it does not "repel" her from the garden.

Sorry, this device is not designed to repel domestic animals - it will not repel animals who are very accustomed to your yard

Used it to deter mice in the attic...both chipmunks and mice are rodents...could work. May have to reapply it fairly often if used outside...q 2-3 days, maybe. Not harmful just a deterrent..I like that aspect.

I don't know - I have never seen a skunk around my house. I do know it works on raccoons to keep them out of the garbage.

I doube it will work. I used it to scare rabbits and squirrels from the yard. It works for a couple of days, then they came back. As long as they have a nest nearby, they will get used to the smell in a few days.

I doubt it would because the smell would dissipate into the air and be too weak to drive them away. But for the price it might be worth a try.

I don't know about that one. I'd read up on the product before I'd put it on my animal. I've heard tomato juice works for skunk, but I've never had a dog that tangled with one so not sure about that either, sorry!
