No. Skunk spray is not flammable.It is a mixture of sulfur containing chemicals.
How should you remove a dead skunk from your yard?
Use a small trap just big enough for the skunk to get in. It MUST be small enough to prevent the skunk from lifting it's tail. The skunk can't spray if it can't lift it's tail. Once the skunk is trapped he may be safely relocated. To release the skunk simply place the trap on the ground and open the door. I know that sounds scary but the skunk will nonchalantly walk out and away.
How is a skunks spray made?
Skunk spray is not necessarily "made". Skunk spray is a liquid or gas like substance that is produced in the glands for defending themselves which is why they spray.
