Skunk Info: Skunks are easy to recognize with their bold black and white coloring. While most animals prefer camouflage, a skunk's distinctive coloration serves as a warning of its potent attack. Using special glands below the tail, skunks can spray their powerful scent up to 15 feet. This scent burns an attacker's eyes, and causes temporary blindness. Of course, the stench is too much for most animals to bear, and serves as a strong warning against future attacks. Adult skunks grow to about 22-30 inches and 8-12 pounds. Skunks are primarily nocturnal. Skunks are omnivores, and will feed on almost anything, including small rodents, worms, insects, grubs, carrion, fruit, garbage, and pet food left outdoors.

Nuisance concerns: Skunks are usually gentle, often misunderstood creatures. They get a bad reputation because of their smell. However, that smell can cause a headache to many homeowners, particularly when skunks choose to live somewhere within human dwellings, such as under a porch or shed. Furthermore, skunks tend to dig quite a bit, when they are "grubbing", which can ruin a yard.

Skunks are well known for their strong odor. People can often detect a single roadkilled skunk for miles. No homeowner appreciates this scent under their deck. Furthermore, a skunk in the area poses a constant threat to nosey pets. I've cleaned dogs that have been sprayed before, and believe me, the scent does not come off easily. Of course, no person wants to risk being sprayed by a startled skunk. If you want to know how to get rid of the smell, here is the skunk smell removal recipe.

If you have a skunk problem, there are really no good skunk repellents sold. The only real way to remove a skunk from property is through skunk trapping. You don't need to use lethal trapping means to kill the skunk, you just need a good professional trapper for your skunk control needs. You would not call a pest control for skunks company, or a skunk extermination company, you'd call a specialized skunk removal wildlife trapper to deal with the problem. Truth be known, I've never dealt with a skunk in Orlando. I used to deal with them all the time in Pennsylvania. I've never even smelled a skunk here. Supposedly Florida has both spotted and striped skunks, but I've never seen either. If you see one, I'd be curious to know, so give me a call!
