Skunks provide more of a benefit than people realize. They eat many pest insects that cause damage to your lawn and garden. Problems typically arise when the skunks spray or make a home in and around your home.
Skunks do dig holes in lawns, golf courses and gardens in their search for grubs in the soil.
Do you have a live skunk trap and need to know the best options for skunk bait? Havahart® recommends the following baits to attract skunks:
Use a small plate to place the skunk bait at the end of the live skunk trap.
