Three methods to dispatch the critter:
1. SSS
2. Trap and drown in trash can filled with water.
3. Trap and call animal control.
For the fleas use an indoor pesticide with IGR along base boards and away from where children play. Works unbelievably well but you have to give it time to do its thing.

I often trap raccoons, groundhogs for my neighbors and my preferred method of dispatch is a H&N hunter extreme to the computer with my P rod while they are in the cage. You don't want to mess with those type of critters the tend to carry all types of nasty stuff. For skunks I throw a tarp over the trap and put it over the exhaust of my truck and let the carbon monoxid take them out. The gassing method will take them out with little pain and they do not spray that way so it will not tait your trap. Skunk odor in a trap and nothing else will ever go in the "dang" thing might as well scrap it. I would say any air gun around 12FPE will work at close range to dispatch quickly, a nice hollow point pellet at close range will short circuit the computer providing a clean kill. I also have had very quick and clean kills with my Talon SS with Ultra Shocks .177 those little pellets are devastating.
