Skunks

Skunks are mostly known for the foul-smelling spray they emit to protect themselves from danger. They also ruin landscapes, raid gardens, and dig holes under homes and building foundations, making them unstable. Plus, they carry various diseases that are transmitted to humans. Skunk control removes the animal and implements exclusions to prevent them from returning. Contact a professional who uses safe and humane strategies that work quickly and effectively. 

Removing skunks from your property or home is important for several reasons: 

  1. Odor Control: Skunks are infamous for their strong, foul-smelling spray, which they use as a defense mechanism. The odor is difficult to remove from clothing, pets, and household items, and it can linger for days or even weeks. 
  2. Health Risks: Skunks can carry diseases such as rabies, which poses a serious health risk to humans and pets. They can also carry other parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites that can infest your home and spread diseases. 
  3. Property Damage: Skunks can cause damage to lawns and gardens while foraging for food. They dig up plants, create burrows, and can damage the foundation of buildings or structures. 
  4. Pet Safety: Pets, particularly dogs, are often curious about skunks and can get sprayed or bitten, leading to potential health risks and the need for veterinary care.
  5. Preventing Infestation: Removing skunks promptly can prevent a larger infestation. Skunks can reproduce and establish a colony if not addressed, leading to greater challenges in the future. 
  6. Avoiding Conflict with Wildlife: Skunks can be territorial and aggressive when threatened. This can lead to conflicts with other wildlife, creating a more chaotic and potentially dangerous environment around your property.
