They don't dig into the ground, but they do stamp their front feet before they spray as a warning. However, if you startle them, they can spray without giving a warning.

How do you wash skunk spray out of clothes?
To get skunk smell out of clothes you need to keep in mind that skunk spray leaves an oily residue which is what makes it so hard to get rid of. If the clothing came into direct contact with spray (straight from the skunk, rubbed off a sprayed dog, etc) then the oil needs to be broken down to remove the smell. Launder them with a degreasing detergent (or detergent with a degreaser added). Some solutions list hydrogen peroxide (which can bleach things) as a possibility, but for clothing you might want to try soaking in the following: 1 Liter White Vinegar 1/4c Baking Soda 1 Tsp dish soap The dish soap will help break down the skunk film, while the vinegar and baking soda will help neutralize the odor. After soaking them, run them through the washing machine using cold or cool water. If instead your clothing merely picked up the odors out of the air (no direct contact with the skunk's spray), or if they are materials that are not readily laundered, then you can rent an ozone generator which will help neutralize the odor. Ozone reacts with many different scent molecules and breaks them down - this is the same effect it has on skunk odor. If you have a number of items that have leftover skunk smell on them, this can be an effective way to room odor from them at one time.
