Common signs of a skunk problem include a strong, unpleasant odor, holes dug in your lawn or garden, overturned garbage cans, and sightings of skunks around your property. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to contact a professional for an assessment.
-
If your pet gets sprayed by a skunk, wash them immediately with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap. Avoid getting the solution in their eyes or mouth, and consult your veterinarian if irritation persists.
-
Skunks can create nuisances by digging holes in lawns, raiding garbage cans, and even spraying foul-smelling musk when threatened. Additionally, skunks can carry diseases such as rabies, making encounters with them potentially hazardous.
-
Skunks are often attracted to residential areas by accessible food sources such as garbage, pet food left outdoors, and unsecured compost piles. Additionally, they may seek shelter under structures like decks, sheds, and porches.
-
While skunks have few natural predators due to their defensive spray, some animals such as owls, foxes, and coyotes may prey on them. However, relying on natural predators for skunk control is not always effective or practical, especially in urban or suburban environments where human-wildlife conflicts can arise.
