Skunk Removal Ottawa ON Should Only Be Done By Trained Professionals

Skunks are not usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think about potential issues with animals in your home. Many people do not expect to come across them in residential or urban areas, assuming that they reside mainly in the wilderness and rural areas. While it is true that skunks tend to avoid contact with humans, they will also make homes for themselves within city limits. They are nocturnal creatures, and tend to keep to themselves meaning that you most likely will not come into contact with them that often. This becomes more difficult however, if one lives in your neighbourhood or even on your property.

 

Like most animals, skunks will seek out homes that are shielded from the elements. If one comes pre-made and easy for them to access, they will move in. This makes places like underneath a desk or shed the ideal spot for a skunk home. This is not an ideal situation for any homeowners in involved however, so in these situations your best option is to hire a professional to handle the problem for you.

 

Skunks and Humans

 

Having a skunk around is not an ideal situation for most people, and can make your life more difficult. They can carry diseases that are harmful to humans, but what concerns most people is of course the threat of being sprayed by a skunk. There is little that can be done when this happens, cleaning and washing will only get you so far. The old wives tale of tomato juice baths will not do much to get rid of the smell.

 

After cleaning everything that came into contact with the skunk, only time will properly get rid of it. Children and domestic animals are especially at risk of being sprayed in these cases simply because they are not aware of the threats that are posed to them by skunks; all they see are small and cute animals. The spray can also cause irritation if it works its way into the eyes, requiring them to be flushed out.
