Skunk Diseases and Risks of Intrusion 

Skunks are little animals, yet they may cause significant property damage and, worse, carry disease. Skunks are the principal carriers of rabies in the United States, posing a significant risk to both humans and their pets. Skunks are also expert diggers, digging deep burrows that might endanger the structures of houses and businesses.


Diseases/Rabies 

Skunks are highly vulnerable to the rabies virus, which they can then spread to humans or pets. The spray of skunks does not transmit rabies. They can spread the severe disease by saliva, most commonly through biting. 


Rabid skunks exhibit aggressive behavior, roving during the day, muscle tremors or paralysis, excessive salivation, and may appear approachable. It is possible for.

Skunk Dens


The front claws of skunks serve as ideal instruments for excavation. Skunks create underground homes and passageways beneath structures like buildings, sheds, decks, and concrete bases. These underground homes can compromise the stability of buildings and properties, yet they also offer an entryway inside.

Holes made by Skunks


Skunk burrows are distinct from skunk holes. Burrows are deeper than holes and contain more disturbed soil. Skunks create burrows in your garden in search of food. These animals are omnivores, consuming bugs, rodents, shrews, ground squirrels, baby rabbits, eggs, and a wide range of vegetation. 


Skunk Scent and Smell


Skunks employ spray as their last line of protection against predators. Thiol, a chemical molecule mostly made up of sulfur and hydrogen, is responsible for the spray's strong odor. Skunks can accurately spray up to 12 feet. The spray is intended to offer a skunk cover to flee, although it is not harmful unless consumed in large quantities. Spraying you or your pet may result in eye irritation, nausea, or vomiting.
