Skunk Breeding Season

Skunks breeding season is fast approaching. This time if year along with when juvenile skunks start to venture out of the den for the first time. 

The main problem associated with skunks and breeding season is the smell. Skunks will spray multiple times. Whether it be during breeding or fights between males. Many males are drawn to one female in season. There also could be multiple females living in den depending on it’s size. Mild days will bring out skunks whether they are looking for a suitable den or a mate. 

We have caught up to 12 adult skunks out of one whole. You should deal with a skunk living under a deck, patio, shed, structure or crawl space as soon as possible. It should reduce the amount of skunks needing to be removed which will save time and money. Better yet prevent the skunk from getting in before it arrives. 

If you need help dealing with a skunk or have had a problem in the past and would like to prevent it from happening again please let us know.
