SKUNK RELATED COMPLAINTS AND POTENTIAL RISKS
Skunk Spray and Odour
Skunks are best known for their ability to spray a nauseating musk and are capable of several discharges. Skunk smells may be more noticeable in late January and February in Ottawa. If a female skunk does not wish to mate it will spray the interested male skunk.
Skunk Sounds
Skunk noises range from screeches to whimpers to chirps.
Personality and Behaviours
Skunks are not normally an aggressive animal. Certainly, avoid cornering them. When confronted, skunks will raise their tail, stomp their front feet and look like they will charge at you. Skunks are great diggers. They are known to dig around foundations. Rainwater seeps in and undermines the cement. Skunks are well known for digging circular holes in lawns or lifting up large chunks of sod as they look for grubs.
Skunk Related Complaints
The following are some of the most common skunk complaints:
- A skunk has fallen down a basement or window well.
- A skunk is digging holes in your yard.
- Skunks spraying in the area.
- Skunk under deck, porch or crawlspace.
A mammal that is well-known for its bad odour should not be residing in your place of work or living at your home.
