Strategies for deterring skunks from entering or inhabiting properties are essential for preventing unpleasant encounters and potential damage. These methods aim to discourage skunks by removing attractants, creating barriers, and using repellents.
Effectively managing skunk populations around residences and businesses provides benefits such as reducing the risk of being sprayed, preventing property damage caused by digging, and mitigating the spread of diseases these animals may carry. Historically, various techniques, ranging from trapping to natural remedies, have been employed to address the challenges posed by skunk presence in human environments.
