Skunk Removal & Prevention

Skunks can spray a sulfur-rich fluid up to 3ā€Æm, with the odor lingering on surfaces and in fur for daysā€”sometimes carried by wind for miles.

Risks

  • Rabies risk: May transmit rabies through bites or scratches ā€” spray itself is not a vector.
  • Spray effects: Causes eye irritation, nausea, and can temporarily remove petsā€™ natural scent.

DIY Tips

  • Deter naturally: Use citrus peels, an ammonia-water solution, or predator scents around yard edges.
  • Seal off dens: Block access under decks and garden sheds using hardware cloth or mesh.

Control Methods

  • Use humane live traps: Trained professionals ensure safe, legal removal and relocation.
  • Neutralize odor: Mix 1ā€Æqt 3% hydrogen peroxide, Ā¼ā€Æcup baking soda, and 1 tsp dish soap; apply gently.
  • Post-removal: Restore soil and close access points to prevent return.

Squirrels in Attics & Wiring

Tree squirrels gnaw continually to keep their teeth sharp and often chew wires and insulation. They need gaps as small as a baseball to enter attics.

Risks

  • Chewed wiring leads to short circuits, power outages, and multiple fire risks.
  • Nesting materials and droppings attract mites and create odors or allergens.

DIY Tips

  • Trim branches ā‰„2ā€Æm (6ā€Æft) from the house to prevent roof access.
  • Seal attic vents and roof entry points with metal flashing, wire mesh, and chimney caps.
  • Use natural scent deterrents like peppermint oil or place pet fur in attics.

Control Methods

  • Use one-way exclusion doorsā€”allow squirrels to exit but block reā€“entry.
  • Set live traps baited with peanut butter or nuts; check daily per local regs.
  • After removal: clean nesting materials, disinfect, and inspect all wiring and insulation for damage.

Opossum Yard & Garden Control

Opossums are nocturnal, opportunistic scavengers often found in yards eating insects, fallen fruit, and pet food.

Risks

  • Generally harmless, but may carry fleas, ticks, and occasionally spread leptospirosis.

DIY Tips

  • Remove food sources, properly secure bins, elevate pet dishes, remove brush piles.
  • Use ammonia or predator scent around garden edges as a non-harmful deterrent.

Control Methods

  • Live-capture in covered traps; relocate per local wildlife rules.
