Give your lawn a couple of Milky Spore treatments to control Japanese beetle grubs and you should see a drop-off in skunk grubbing. Steer clear of insecticide-based grub treatments. Not only are they broadly toxic, but treatments have to be repeated annually. The Milky Spore organism takes a a season to get established in your lawn, during which time you can use Japanese beetle bait-traps (at some distance from your flower beds), but once it kicks in you'll be grub and beetle-free for over ten years.
