Skunks are widely known for their smelly defense system, which poses a stinky situation when they feel threatened or are trapped. We know you do not want to be sprayed by a skunk, so if you suspect that you have a skunk infestation, call a Legacy Rodent Control skunk exterminator to handle it.
While there are some repellents available that are designed to keep skunks away from your property, their results are temporary. The best way to keep skunks away from your home is to remove their food source. Keep trash bags and bins secured, and do not feed your pets outside or store pet food outside.
Skunks also love to forage in gardens and on fruit fallen from your trees. Be sure to pick up fallen fruit and protect your garden with chicken wire to help keep skunks from wanting to stick around. We suggest you cover or secure your compost bins or piles, as well.
Skunks are common guests in any manicured garden. Beautiful fruits and vegetables are alluring bait. The best and most effective way to keep them out and ensure they never come back is by placing chicken wire covering the entire perimeter of your garden plot.
