Skunk Removal

How to know if you have a skunk

There are a few signs you can look for to determine if you have a skunk problem. The first thing will be the distinct skunk odor. If you have pets in your home, you will likely notice different behavior, such as increased aggression or anxiety, due to the presence of the skunk. They may even try to go after it which is never a good idea as skunks will spray when they feel threatened.

Skunks are nocturnal animals and will be more active after the sun goes down. You may hear rustling or scratching at night. The source of those sounds most frequently lead to burrows under decks and sheds. The last thing to look for is property damage. Lawn and garden damage is common when a skunk has taken up residence in your yard. If left to do as they please, skunks will cause extensive damage to your lawn and garden by digging holes in search of bugs for food.

Dangers of Skunks

Most importantly skunks carry diseases you do not want your family or pets coming into contact with. Skunks are one of the most common carriers of rabies, and they can transmit the disease to humans and pets through bites or scratches. They are also vectors for various bacterial infections which can be spread through their urine. Avoid the dangers of skunks by having ARC Wildlife Removal install effective skunk exclusion measures.
