Pennsylvania Skunk Control

Do you have a skunk problem? Skunks are a common nuisance in Pennsylvania. It is important to learn how to prevent, or get rid of, a skunk infestation to curb damage to your home, business, or even yourself. At Viking Pest Control, we are the PA wildlife pest management professionals.

What are Skunks?

Skunks are small mammals that can spray a pungent order up to 10 feet to ward off potential threats. Although gentle in nature, a skunk infestation can cause issues for your home or business.

How to Identify Skunks

A skunk in Pennsylvania can be easily identified by its black and white markings. These colorings feature on both the Eastern Spotted Skunk and the Striped Skunk, explains Viking’s certified entomologist. A skunk can be anywhere from two pounds as a young animal to 15 pounds full-grown. If you think you have spotted a skunk, you should keep your distance.

What Problems Can Skunks Cause for Pennsylvania Home and Business Owners?

The main causes for concern from skunks are their spray’s foul odor as well as the threat of rabies. If a skunk sprays your home or business, it can be a complicated process to get rid of the distinct smell.

Skunks are also known to carry rabies. While not all skunks have rabies, it should be kept in mind that it is a possibility. You should never approach a skunk. Allow the wildlife control professionals to work with a skunk control issue to prevent any harm to yourself.

When are Skunks Active in Pennsylvania?

As nocturnal animals, skunks are most active at night, explain the wildlife control experts at Viking. This can make DIY skunk control difficult since they are not typically active during the day and therefore can be hard to find.

Keep an eye out for skunks at night and our PA wildlife control experts recommend closing all doors and seal any holes that may allow them access to your home or office.

How to Control Skunks in Pennsylvania

Skunk control in Pennsylvania is easy with a pest management professional. Work to eliminate habitats that skunks find inviting. Skunks are often seeking food or shelter when they enter your home or business property.

Our PA wildlife control experts also recommend getting rid of trash and especially food waste to prevent luring the skunks to your area. It is important to reduce entry points to your property so that skunks do not use your building as their shelter.
