Understanding the Dangers of Skunks
In addition to their well-known spray, skunks can introduce various issues when they inhabit your property. Here are some common concerns associated with skunks:
Don’t come into direct contact with skunks. If skunks, even babies, are handled without gloves, bites and scratches may occur, which will qualify as exposure. Exposures must be reported to the Health Department; if officials determine that exposure has occurred, the skunk must be tested for rabies, even if the animal is not showing symptoms.
Skunks can carry zoonotic diseases that are serious health risks to humans and pets: Skunks mate in February; many people may see increased skunk activity near roadways as male search for mates. Skunks, with their distinctive appearance and unmistakable scent, are impressive wild neighbors. These adaptable creatures can thrive in both urban and suburban environments. As omnivores, skunks have a diverse diet that includes insects, small rodents like mice, fruits, chicken eggs, and even pet food left outside. Their nocturnal nature makes them most active during dusk and dawn.
Skunk Removal in Houston
While skunks are known to be nomadic, their search for food or suitable den locations often leads them into our shared habitat. Understanding their habits and behaviors can help us minimize potential issues and coexist harmoniously with these unique, striped creatures. Skunk mothers can get scared away from their babies rather easily, but a lone baby will usually be retrieved later. Mother and baby can track each other by scent. Older babies can typically find their way back to their own dens by scent.
Carriers of Diseases
Skunks are known carriers of diseases such as rabies and parasites like ticks, fleas, and ring worms, as well as more common ailments like mange. These diseases can be transmitted through their droppings or via bites and scratches. Avoiding these animals and only attempting their removal with professional assistance is crucial.
They dig up lawns and gardens
Skunks are just like any other wild animal in that they’re very interested in finding food sources for themselves and their families, so if you have a skunk living under your house or around the yard it’s likely because there is an ample supply of food to be found nearby.

Is It Necessary to Contact County Animal Services for Wild Animal Issues?
If a raccoon appears on your property, you might wonder whether to contact local animal control or the police department. However, most county animal services focus on domestic animals, such as dogs or cats, not wildlife. While police might respond if a raccoon enters your home, they will likely advise you to contact a wildlife control company.
When it comes to raccoon issues or other wild animal concerns, the best course of action is to contact us. Our team of experienced and certified wildlife control technicians is ready to assist you at your home or business. We will assess the situation and provide practical solutions to remove the animals safely.
Our services go beyond just removal. We also offer raccoon-proofing services, which include sealing any openings or cracks around your home to prevent animal entry and installing chimney caps and other devices to deter raccoons from accessing your property.
