Skunks

Famous for their foul-smelling spray and black-and-white color, skunks are one of the most common nuisance wildlife creatures for homeowners and businesses. The striped or spotted nocturnal animals are common in the United States in both urban and suburban areas. There are many situations where professional skunk removal services are necessary on a property.

Below are a few of the problems skunks can cause:
  • Spray people and pets - When feeling threatened, a skunk will spray people or pets with an oily liquid containing sulfur compounds which is produced by 2 glands at the base of the tail. Skunks are capable of spraying accurately up to 20 feet. The spray can be painful and blind pets and people temporarily.
  • Carry rabies - Skunks are also a serious public health threat. In the U.S., they are second to the raccoon in the number of reported rabies cases among wildlife animals. In some parts of the U.S., the skunk is the predominant animal associated with rabies.
  • Inhabit structures - Skunks will often dig along the edges of structures and take up residency beneath foundations, porches, decks, and sheds. Oftentimes, people don’t realize that skunks are living on their property until their dog or cat has a confrontation with the skunk and enters the home covered in the pungent skunk scent.
  • Damage lawns - Skunks are known to tear up lawns and landscaping as they dig for insect larvae.
  • Raid gardens - Ungated gardens are commonly raided by skunks for fruits and vegetables.
  • Damage beehives - Skunks will feed on both adult and larval bees.
