Fox urine supposedly works as a repellent.

I got some a long time ago, but ended up not needing it. Horrible situation when a skunk cuts loose under the house. That terrible skunk odor is weird. As nasty as it smells, after a while you can't smell it at all. I thought I had got everything under control at my house (as far as removing the odor). I went to work, and people smelled skunk two corridors away from my office.
I suppose you are referring to "lead" poisoning
Aww crap! That's what I'm afraid of. It is weird. One minute you smell it, one minute you don't, and you know it doesn't just go away. Tomorrow I go back to work, I bet I hear about it. Crap.
Eh,I could very well be wrong but I have a feeling he already knew that and was being a wise guy.
You could soak the moth balls in fox urine then fire them out of a 3d printed blunderbuss
Concrete shoes...cyanide...TNT...neckties...contracts...HIGH VOLTAGE...!!!
This thread delivers!
Something that does not seem to have been mentioned here is that I don't believe you have had a skunk spray under your house, at least not yet. Whenever people get a whiff of skunk, it's assumed that one of the little darlings has opened fire nearby. Usually that's not the case. They always carry that odour around with them because they occasionally "leak" a drop or two of musk, but that is a far cry from an actual defensive full-bore spray. They don't normally just open fire unless threatened. I very much doubt that one has ever let loose under your house; you are just smelling the typical aroma that is their signature.
Skunks are often struck and killed by cars...causing them to fire off one last round of fireworks...and when you pass a dead skunk at 100kph in your car, the smell invades the car immediately...even if the skunk has been dead for hours. That's just residual funk in the air. If you are the unfortunate driver who actually struck and killed the skunk, you get to experience a whole 'nother level of stink; and if you are in a car immediately behind the death car, well, you might as well start looking for a bridge overpass to smash into because you aren't just passing through a cloud of stink...you are probably going to get some actual fluid on your car and you aren't going to like it.
Smelling a skunk is one thing; actually being sprayed and having some of that vile liquid clinging to you transcends smell and starts to spill over into taste. So...all kidding aside...anything you do with a skunk needs to be done gently. You do not want to piss off or startle the animal too close to the house...because if you think things are bad now...

Sorry about your skunk problem.
While I don't have a crawlspace, maybe rig up a one way flap door on your crawlspace vent so it only opens outward to the yard?
