Can you tell me how to deter skunks?

Answer by  SashaDarkCloud (5764)

There are a few tricks that you can use. Though, to keep prevention you should make sure that you have no sources of water or food in your yard. Skunks won't want to come back if there is no sources for it to use. You can set up plastic owls, ammonia soaked rags around the yard, lights on, etc.

Skunks that invade your property are mainly seeking food. Make sure your garbage is in a secure container and don't leave pet food outside. Skunks will dig up a lawn looking for grubs and worms to eat. Putting socks filled with mothballs around the yard will usually deter digging.

The better way to deter skunks is cleanup the smell first. Shouldn't practice them by giving food products. Keep the garbage cans closed always. Dont throw the food dishes outside.
