What Damage Do Skunks Cause?

While skunks might be known for their nasty spray, this is actually not that serious of a problem when you encounter skunks. It might be an annoyance, but this is actually not one of the most important reasons that people often want to remove skunks. One of the most serious reasons why removing skunks is important is their ability to spread diseases to humans, their families, and their pets. Rabies, leptospirosis, and many, many infections, both viral and bacterial, are commonly carried by skunks. Each of these diseases can cause serious health problems in humans and pets. These diseases can be spread through bites or scratches from the skunks, through its urine or feces, or by simply coming into contact with skunk hair or saliva.

In addition to the health problems, skunks also cause great amounts of damage to homes, garages, and other buildings. Skunks are animals that love to have dens for protection. Since skunks love to dig their dens right next to homes and other buildings, it can end up causing some problems. Often, the foundation of the building that they dug the den next to will begin to be weakened due to a lack of support from the dirt removed by the skunk. This weakening will eventually become more severe as time passes. It eventually will lead to a failure of the foundation, which can be very serious or, at the very least, an expensive repair. As can be seen, removing skunks should be a top priority.

How Can I Prevent Skunks?

Skunks are a fairly difficult animal to prevent coming onto your property, as they have the ability to dig. With that being said, there are a number of ways you can discourage skunks. If you really feel the need to, installing a fence that extends below the ground a few feet as well can keep skunks out. Beyond this, cleaning up any easy food sources is a must. Keep all garbage, pet food, and fallen fruit from fruit trees cleaned up and secured out of reach of animals. Another important step is cleaning up your yard. Keep weeds and grass low, clean up woodpiles, and clean up any other debris, and this may dramatically reduce your yard’s attractiveness to skunks. These few simple steps could save you serious headaches down the road if skunks were to come onto your property.

How Can I Get Rid of Skunks?

Skunks might seem like a simple animal to remove on your own, however, they can present quite the challenge. One of the best ways to humanely remove a skunk on your own is with a cage trap with bait in the back. This will not harm the skunk and is very easy to do. The problem is that skunks are often too smart to be caught by a simple cage trap setup. This is when it is recommended to hire a professional wildlife removal company to get rid of your skunks for you. In addition to not having the risk of being sprayed, hiring a wildlife removal company means that you will not expose yourself or your family to any potential diseases the skunk may be carrying.
