| Skunks provide more of a benefit than people think. They eat many pest insects that cause damage to your lawn and garden. Problems arise when they make homes in and around your garden and spray causing the very irritating skunk odor.
Skunk Odor
Skunk odor is very unique and easy to identify. Yet, skunk odor is not always an indicator of skunk presence. Sometimes other animals within the area may have been sprayed and the skunk odor is lingering.
Skunk Digging
Skunks become a nuisance when their burrowing and feeding habits cause problems for humans.
They may burrow under porches or buildings by entering foundation openings. Skunks dig holes in lawns, golf courses and gardens searching for grubs found in the soil.
Skunk holes appear as small cone-shaped holes or patches of up-turned earth 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
Skunk Droppings
Skunk droppings usually have undigested insect parts and are 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter and 1 to 2 inches long.
Skunk Tracks
Tracks may be used to identify skunk damage as well. Both the hind and forefeet of skunks have five toes. Claws are most times visible, but the heels of the forefeet normally are not.
