Cartoon skunks are adorable. Flower, the skunk from Bambi was adorable and shy. Pepe Le Pew was funny because he was always trying to attract a black and white cat and not a female skunk. Skunks in real life are much different than those in the movies and on TV. If you have a skunk living on your property, catching it won’t be as easy as catching a cartoon skunk. It is best that you call a professional in skunk removal Hollywood. There are several reasons why you should hire a professional as soon as you suspect that there is a skunk on your property.
A Threat To Animals and Humans
Skunks let off a nasty smelling spray when they feel threatened. This is their defense mechanism. If there is a skunk on your property, your family and your pets are in danger. If you let your dog outside and it encounters the skunk, the skunk will spray immediately. Even if your dog doesn’t attack the skunk, it can still get sprayed. Getting a skunk’s odor out of a dog’s fur is extremely difficult and it can be a long process.
Skunks can also be a threat to you and your family. If you are walking out in the yard at night, the skunk will see you before you see it. When this happens, the skunk will spray immediately, even if you aren’t going near it. While it is easier to remove the skunk smell from skin than dog fur, you still don’t want to be sprayed.
The best way to protect your family and your pets is to hire a professional in skunk removal in Hollywood.
Smelly Property
Even if your family and pets don’t make the skunk feel threatened, it will still spray often. If the skunk sees another wild animal outside, it is going to spray to protect itself. Female skunks spray regularly to attract a mate. If there is a female living on your property, she will spray multiple times each day, which can leave your property smelling horrible. If the female skunk is pregnant or has just given birth, she will spray often to keep predators away from her and her young. This constant spraying will keep your property smelling foul for most of the day.
If there is a skunk on your property, it is best to call a professional in skunk removal Hollywood right away. The sooner the professional removes the skunk, the sooner you will be able to breathe fresh air.
Skunks Can Damage Your Home
A skunk’s home of choice is a quiet and dry place. If a skunk makes it way onto your property, it will do whatever necessary to find the perfect home. Skunks will go as far as to chew out vent screens and wood to find a nice place to live. They will even try to burrow under the home’s foundation. This can result in severe damage to the foundation, which can be very expensive to repair.
If you suspect that a sunk has set up a home on your property, it is important to hire a professional in skunk removal Hollywood as quickly as possible. The longer you allow the skunk to remain on your property, the more damage it can cause.
Humane Removal
Skunks might be a major nuisance and they smell really bad, but you don’t want to harm a skunk that is living on your property. When you hire a professional in skunk removal Hollywood, you will have someone to remove the skunk in a humane manner. A professional will have the knowledge and tools necessary to capture the skunk, and then bring it to a safe place far away from your home.
Knowledge and Experience
A professional in skunk removal Hollywood has the knowledge and experience to remove the skunk in a safe and humane way. Homeowners who have tried to remove skunks on their own have ended up regretting it. Even if you are able to get close enough to capture the skunk without being sprayed, you aren’t out of danger. If a skunk feels threatened, it will scratch and bite. Because skunks have sharp claws and teeth, DIY skunk removal can be very dangerous. If you don’t have extensive knowledge of skunks, chances are you won’t be able to remove it from your home safely.
Understanding the Habitat
It is not uncommon to see the signs that there is a skunk living on your property, but you are not able to find it. Skunks can hide very well, making it difficult. A professional in skunk removal Hollywood understands the behavior of skunks, and can look for signs to find the skunk’s habitat. If you want the skunk removed quickly, it is best to hire a professional in skunk removal Hollywood.
Preventing a Problem In the Future
If one skunk chose your property for its home, you can be sure that another one will. To prevent another one from choosing your property, you will need to make some changes. You will need to seal up any entry points created by the skunk. You should also make sure that your trash barrels outside are closed and sealed. If the skunk cannot find a safe place to live and a food source, it will move on to find a better place to live.
