Skunks are members of the weasel family and are notorious for their ability to spray a fluid with a very unpleasant smell. 

Skunks' anal scent glands are a powerful defensive weapon. A skunk's spray can result in skin irritation and temporary blindness. The smell of a skunk spray can be sensed by humans from several kilometres away. 

Skunk smell can linger in a vehicle or a home for longer than a month. Outdoor areas sprayed by skunks will continue to smell bad for weeks.  Skunks present the greatest danger to the homeowner's pets, especially dogs.  

Skunk spray contains three chemical compounds and their acetate thioesters: (E)-2-butene-1-thiol, 3-methyl-1-butanethiol, and 2-quinolinemethanethiol, as well as acetate thioesters of these.​

If you or your pet is sprayed by a skunk, you can use the following solution to treat the sprayed surface. Avoid using the compound close to the human or animal eyes. 

1 litre of 3% hydrogen peroxide + 60 mL baking soda + 5 mL liquid dish soap

Don't forget to rinse the surface with water after using the solution. This solution will help neutralize the odour of the skunk spray.

Skunks can carry rabies, and rabid skunks are known to bite humans and other animals.

​Most skunk removal operations should include the construction of prevention barriers to prevent the animals from re-entering the affected space. You can check our website and YouTube channel for videos showing some sample skunk removal jobs. Skunk control is a technical and effort-consuming job. We use exclusion systems, live traps, hand-removal, and skunk-proofing techniques to keep your property skunk-free.

Most successful pest control plans require close cooperation between the homeowner and the pest management professional. 

You can try the following recommended steps to ensure your property remains skunk-free once the removal and animal-proofing processes have been completed.

Clean up food leftovers including wild fruits that are on the ground.

Rake up the yard waste.

Use proper trashcans with tight lids to store garbage.
