How do I get rid of a skunk that comes in my yard every night?

He is very stinky and has already sprayed my dog once, by the way thank you to all of you that answered my get rid of skunk smell on my dog question.

Answers:
Why is he coming in your yard? Once you solve that, he will be easy to get rid of. Skunks love cat and dog food, and bugs, and lots of garbage items. Figure out what he wants, and ask him to leave. Seriously, you may have luck with something like bear piss or something like that from an outdoors shop. They are a pain. I'm betting they are looking for food, so take that away. Put smelly diapers in the backyard instead.

Urinating all over your yard and dog should do the trick.
leave it some antifreeze
Spray perfume or deodrant on the places where he comes back to. Just a guess.
Call your local wildlife rescue, concerned about a skunk that just might get poisoned if it keeps terrorizing your neighborhood.
I'd shoot it and hope it dosen't run under the house to die ..
Get a hungry pet lion. Perhaps that will take care of your problem, I don't know. If not, maybe you can just shoot it.
The best way is trapping and removal of the animal. Use a cage or call a professional who can set one up for ya. By all means, do not shoot it, shooting an animal that's not being shot for food or your own self defense is cruel and inhumane.
mhh... scare it away..even though it might spray..or get a hose and spray it......
use a 22 caliber short to shoot it with so it won't make much noise and it won't have much travel if you miss!
put some of my ex-wife's cooking on a plate out in the yard.....your skunk problem will be solved.
Poor skunk. Think how he must feel. No one loves him. No one cares. Can't even poke around for food during the time most humans are supposed to be sleeping. Just tryng to earn a living like everyone else, and some home owner is always scheming to whack him for good. Probably has a wife skunk and family to feed too.
You probably have grubs in your lawn that are attracting the pole cat. Sprinkle some cayenne pepper around in the areas the skunk goes to. If he gets some of that in his snoot he won't hang around very long.
