Skunks Removal
Skunks become pests to homeowners and gardeners when they spray pets, burrow under houses and porches, get in the garbage, dig in lawns and gardens and eat garden produce. Two species of skunks are commonly found – the spotted skunk and the larger, more common striped skunk. Spotted skunks are strictly active at night and are small weighing one to two pounds. They like forests and woodlands. They are not as common as striped skunks. Striped skunks are larger weighing about two-and-a-half to nine pounds and keep more variable hours, foraging not only under darkness, but also at dawn or dusk.
Inspecting For Skunks
They may leave small, three- to four-inch cone-shaped holes or patches of upturned earth in your yard or garden just like dogs. Skunk tracks usually show five toes and claw symbols. Skunk droppings, one-fourth to one-half inch in diameter and one to two inches long, often include insect parts, particularly in the summer and fall.
Damage By Skunks
As they eat both plant and animal food, skunks may consume fruits, grasshoppers, beetles and crickets and insect larvae like beetle grubs and cutworms. They also have been identified to dine on crayfish, birds and eggs, field and house mice, moles, rats, rabbits and carrion. Normally, they do not climb fences, so they cannot get into chicken farms unless there is a way in. But they are very good at digging. Skunks removal is also necessary because Striped skunks can carry transmittable diseases like rabies, leptospirosis and tularemia.
