Skunk Removal in Kentucky

Skunk Removal

Identifying Skunks

The striped skunk exhibits two distinct, broad stripes that may stretch along its body, with color variations that can be either mostly white or black. In contrast, the Eastern spotted skunk lacks these clear stripes and typically features black and white patches instead. Both species are approximately the size of a house cat, characterized by a compact head, short legs, and a bushy tail. Skunks are primarily nocturnal creatures and tend to consume small animals and plants.

Problems and Damage

Problems and Damage

Lawns featuring alluring features like nut trees, gardens, and bird feeders tend to be especially attractive to skunks. Once they discover a reliable food source, skunks may create burrows beneath porches or sheds, and if they find an entry point, they can take up residence in your crawlspace. If a skunk gains access to your home, it can lead to contamination of the area through its feces and urine. If left unattended, skunks can start causing damage to ductwork or even result in structural issues. Skunks are known carriers of diseases such as leptospirosis, rabies, canine distemper, and roundworm. It's important to note that not all skunks carry diseases, but any scratches or bites should be promptly treated by a medical professional.
