What Attracts Skunks To A Home?
Skunks are drawn to properties that offer food, shelter, and easy access. Gardens, compost bins, and unsecured trash cans all attract hungry skunks. These animals are nocturnal, so you may never see one during the day—but their presence can still be obvious. Hidden burrows under decks, sheds, or porches are common hiding spots.
If you’re noticing signs of a skunk infestation, such as shallow holes in the yard, unexplained odours, or damaged siding, it’s time to act. Skunks are particularly active during skunk baby season, making spring and summer prime times for problems.
How To Identify The Presence of Skunks in Your Home
The most obvious sign is the smell. The notorious skunk spray–their well-known defense mechanism–is produced from its anal glands and can cause nausea, eye irritation, vomiting, and in severe cases, temporary blindness. Nuisance skunks damage lawns and gardens through persistent digging and burrowing.
Dead skunks also pose serious health risks and must be removed promptly. If you suspect an issue, our team offers dead skunk removal as part of our comprehensive wildlife removal services.
