What Dangers Come with Skunks on Your Property?
Skunks can behave unpredictably, particularly when they feel threatened or are guarding their young. While most people associate skunks with their powerful spray and the lingering odor it leaves behind, there are other serious concerns to consider.
Contact a professional skunk removal expert as soon as possible to help prevent these additional risks:
Spraying You, Your Family, Pets, or Property: A skunk can spray from distances of up to 15 feet, and the resulting odor can persist for weeks. If spraying occurs near a crawl space or HVAC system, professional cleanup is often needed to fully remove the smell.
Health Hazards: Skunks are one of the leading carriers of rabies in North America. In addition, they can spread leptospirosis, canine distemper, and a range of intestinal parasites that may pose risks to both people and pets.
Property Damage: Skunks are well known for “grubbing,” which involves digging small, cone-shaped holes in lawns as they search for insects and larvae. They may also burrow beneath concrete slabs and foundations, increasing the risk of cracks and structural issues.
Secondary Pests: Skunks often carry fleas, ticks, and mites. If one dies beneath your home, the remains can attract flies and other scavengers, leading to additional infestations and unhealthy conditions.
