Does your lawn show signs of an attack?
If you have skunks on your property a sure sign is the state of your lawn. After a rainfall brings grubs to the surface of your lawn skunks will forage for them, often ripping up large chunks of your lawn in the process. Despite what you may think, skunks are beneficial to our environment. They help control the rodent and insect population. But if you’ve ever come into contact with a skunk you may not find them very endearing.
Skunk behaviour and characteristics
When a skunk feels the need to defend himself from a perceived threat he will thump his feet on the ground as a warning. Then he will lift his tail, point his behind at the threat, and spray them with an oily noxious substance that can reach up to ten feet away. Skunks are generally shy and will stay away from you. They’re nocturnal so you’re unlikely to encounter them during the day. But they can carry rabies so it’s important to remove them from your property, especially if you have pets.
Don’t invite skunks to live with you
If you stick to a few simple rules you can avoid having skunks take up residence on your property. Try keeping your garbage cans and compost containers inside a shed or garage until the morning they’re due to be picked up. Don’t feed your pets or other animals outside. Block off openings that may provide lodging for skunks, popular places include under decks, porches, and garden sheds.
