Skunk Proofing

The best way to prevent an encounter with skunks is a good prevention maintenance plan by following these guidelines:

1.Do a visual inspection of your property and eliminate any denning sites. Close off all areas with hardware mesh cloth and bury it 1 1/2 -2 feet deep to prevent digging.

 2. Keep your trash cans sealed with lids that close or keep them out of reach by any wildlife.

 3. Never feed your pet or any stray animal outdoors. Feeding outdoors encourages both rats and mice to also inhabit your property and will attract raccoon’s and squirrels.

 4. Don’t litter your property with any junk, like old cars, lumber or firewood unless you can keep them stored in a place to prevent a skunk from digging in and creating a den habitat.

5.If you encounter skunk do not provoke them either leave them alone or call in a professional. Don’t try disturbing them by using any harassment techniques such as the use of any noise or aggressive actions and for the record their is no repellants that work to remove them and this includes moth balls or moth ball flakes. These measures actually may cause the offending animal to spray again and make the situation worse then it already was.
