Why Are Skunks Dangerous?
Skunks can pose several risks to humans and pets. By understanding these risks and taking appropriate precautions, you can coexist safely with skunks while protecting your health and property.
- Spray - Skunks are notorious for their spray, which is a highly odorous liquid produced by glands under their tails. This spray can be extremely unpleasant and difficult to remove from skin, clothing, and pets. The spray can cause temporary blindness, severe irritation, and discomfort if it gets into the eyes or mucous membranes.
- Disease Transmission - Skunks are common carriers of rabies, a potentially fatal viral disease that can be transmitted to humans and pets through bites or scratches. Infected skunks may exhibit unusual behavior, such as aggression or daytime activity. Skunks can carry leptospirosis, a bacterial disease that can be transmitted through contact with contaminated water or soil. Skunks can also carry parasites such as roundworms and tapeworms, which can be transmitted to pets.
- Contamination - Skunks can contaminate food and water sources with their waste, posing health risks to humans and pets.
- Aggressive Behavior - While skunks are generally non-aggressive, they will defend themselves if threatened. Their primary defense mechanism is their spray, but they can also bite or scratch if cornered.
How To Remove Skunk Smell?
Removing skunk odor can be challenging due to the potent and persistent nature of skunk spray. Learn how to effectively neutralize and eliminate the odor from pets, people, and surfaces:
- Immediate Action - The sooner you start the de-skunking process, the easier it will be to remove the smell.
- Commercial Products - You can try Nature's Miracle Skunk Odor Remover, Skunk-Off Liquid Soaker, or BioWorld Skunk Odor Neutralizer. These products can be effective and convenient alternatives to homemade solutions.
- Homemade De-Skunking Solution - Mix one to two teaspoons of dish soap, ¼ cup of baking soda, and one quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide for ideal results. For best results, perform further research to eliminate the smell and avoid any issues.
- De-Skunking Pets - If possible, keep your pet outside to prevent the smell from spreading indoors.
- De-Skunking Indoor Spaces - Open windows and use fans to ventilate the area. Wipe down walls, floors, and other hard surfaces with a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water. Use a carpet cleaner with a solution of vinegar and water, or a commercial de-skunking product. Place bowls of vinegar, baking soda, or activated charcoal around the room to absorb odors.

How To Remove A Skunk From Your Property
Our team will conduct a thorough assessment of your property to determine the extent of the skunk infestation and identify any potential entry points or nesting areas. We will set up live traps specifically designed for capturing skunk. These traps are designed to safely capture skunk without causing no harm. Once the traps are set, they will be monitored regularly to ensure they are not trapped for extended periods or any other animals. Once the skunk is captured, it will be carefully transported to a new location away from your property and in an area that is suitable for where they can thrive without causing harm or nuisance to humans.
To prevent further skunk infestations, our team will seal off any entry points around your property. This may involve repairing damaged vents, sealing gaps in walls, or fences, and securing trash cans or other food sources. Depending on the infestation, clean-up may be unnecessary to remove skunk feces, urine, or nesting materials. To minimize the risk of future skunk infestation, our wildlife specialists will provide recommendations on prevention methods to avoid any more infestations.
