A good chase and beat session with a straw and wood broom, that animal won't come back and mightve been scared enough to curtiously leave droppings deterring other animals to seek good things in your garage

Put moth balls around your garbage can. the skunks do not like the smell so they will not go anywhere close to your garbage place a few in the can and in the bag for exrta protection.

Do skunks make holes in lawns What do skunks eat?

Yes, skunks may make holes in lawns. Small divots are made when a skunk digs for grubs. This is actually beneficial to the lawn as grubs eat the roots of grass, which will kill the lawn. If you see a large hole with tunnels in your lawn, a skunk has probably dug out the nest of ground-nesting bees, which they also like to eat. Skunks are omnivores, and will eat pretty much anything. When they live around humans, they frequent bird feeders, pet food that is left out, and garbage. They are fastidious eaters, and if they do get into your garbage, they do so with almost surgical precision. thats not true ha aha aha ahabahahahahahaha
