Skunks are easily identifiable by their characteristic black and white striping. These nocturnal pests are infamous for producing a foul odor. A strong skunk smell in and around your house, and visible diggings under stoops, decks or patios are al indicators that skunks are living on your property.

Skunk’s spray, which is its defense mechanism when it feels threatened, can cause nausea or vomiting. Skunks also have powerful claws which they use for digging for food and shelter. This may cause grave damage to your gardens and lawns.
