Identifying a Skunk Problem

Recognizing the signs of a skunk’s presence can save you from an unfortunate encounter with these animals. While skunks are typically harmless, they can become a nuisance due to their notorious spray and potential to spread diseases. 

Here are some signs that could indicate a skunk problem:

• Skunk Spray. The most obvious sign of a skunk is its odor. It could be a skunk if you notice a strong, foul smell in or around your property.
• Digging. Skunks are known to dig up lawns and gardens for food. It could be a skunk if you notice unexplained holes or torn-up patches in your yard.
• Droppings. Like all wildlife, skunks leave behind droppings. These droppings can contain parasites and diseases, making skunk removal essential.
• Tracks. Skunks have distinctive five-toed footprints. If you see these around your property, you might have a skunk.

We understand the importance of acting swiftly to remove skunks. Our team will assess your situation and devise a strategic plan to safely remove the skunks from your property, ensuring your home and yard are safe and skunk-free.

Preventing Skunk Infestation

Preventing a skunk infestation is always better than dealing with one. Skunks are attracted to food, shelter, and a safe place to rear their young. By making your property less appealing to them, you can prevent them from making your home their home.

Here are some effective prevention tips:

• Secure Your Trash. Skunks are notorious scavengers and are attracted to your trash. Secure your garbage bins with tight-fitting lids to keep them away.
• Seal Off Access Points. Skunks can easily sneak into your property through openings in your fences, under decks, or other potential entry points. Regularly inspect and seal off access points to prevent skunks from getting in.
• Remove Food Sources. Avoid leaving pet food outside, as it can attract skunks. Similarly, ensure that fallen fruits or vegetables are picked up promptly from your yard.
• Maintain Your Landscape. Keep your yard clean and well-maintained. Overgrown bushes and high grass provide perfect hiding spots for skunks.
• Install Motion-Activated Sprinklers. Skunks dislike being wet. Installing motion-activated sprinklers can help deter them from your property.

Skunks can still find their way onto your property even with the best prevention measures. If you're facing a skunk problem, don't hesitate to call in the professionals. We offer effective and humane skunk removal solutions tailored to your specific needs.
