Skunks In Canada
Skunks
Size: 50 cm to 80 cm.
Colour: Black and white.
Behaviour: Skunks have elongated bodies with short, strong legs. Skunks like to live in open areas of mixed forests but can be found in cities all over Canada. They live solitary lives and prefer darkness, often coming out at night. They have excellent senses of smell and hearing, but very bad eyesight. So bad that they can’t see anything more than three metres away, so sneaking up on skunks can startle them and cause them to spray you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Months Are Skunks Active?
Skunks are active year-round, from January to December. It’s very common to stumble upon an abandoned skunk den in late February.
Are Skunks Dangerous?
When a skunk is startled or feels cornered, they release a very potent mix of sulphurous chemicals from their anal scent glands as their defensive weapon. If a skunk sprays you or your pets, removing the scent from the area and off of your body can be very difficult and may cause skin irritation and blindness. Baby skunks are able to spray from as young as a week old.
Skunks also eat garden fruit and vegetables, can make a mess of your garbage and dig up grass and lawns in search of insects to eat. Skunks can also carry rabies. It’s no wonder why so many Canadians often Google how to remove skunks?
Why Do I Have A Skunk Infestation In My Home?
Skunks exist in many urban areas, making their homes near humans. They feed off trash bins, compost, gardens and outdoor pet food. They eat almost anything, which makes living near humans very beneficial for them.
Wondering How To Remove Skunks And How To Stop Them Entering Your Home?
Preventative skunk control includes securing trash cans, removing bird feeders and pet food, and securing gaps under your porch, deck or crawlspace. The same methods used to prevent raccoons and opossums from entering your home are the same methods you should use for skunks. However, unlike these other pests, skunks are poor climbers, so you don’t need to be concerned about them making your attic their home. The main concern is preventing them from building a den in your backyard or front yard.
