No, no - it's for washing the spray off dogs. Mix up some OxyClean and add some dish soap, use as a shampoo. It really kills the smell.
If I knew a good trick for keeping skunks away, I'd be happy to share it. The big thing is closing off access so they can't live under your house/porch/whatever. You want to do this anyway, otherwise you'll have a constant parade of critters living there - mice, rats, possums, raccoons, skunks, feral cats, every damn vermin imaginable. It can be a chore finding all the little cracks and crevices through which they gain entrance. How old is your house?
As long as the skunks stay away from my house, I'm happy to have them around. They dig out yellowjacket nests, which makes them heroes to me. I really hate yellowjackets.
