Maybe you could block the access. A while back I had a problem with a skunk digging for grubs in my front lawn and making all these little holes, so I searched for a benevolent way to keep them away. I ended up with the suggestion to mark the boundaries of the lawn with mountain lion urine, apparently available at local nurseries. Calling around, I did not find any, but a friendly nursery lady advised me thus: Since it is really the scent of carnivores that scares a skunk, all I would need to do is eat steak three times a week, and I could mark my territory myself then! I did like that cave man approach in theory, but could not revert to the cave man diet enough to see it through.
