Flint Wildlife Trapper Tip of the Month:
What are the common problems that skunks cause?

The little furry creatures, with that characteristic black and white stripping going on their back that you just encountered in your yard or garden and which probably is the reason you are here are called skunks. Not all skunks are striped necessarily, some are spotted and some have swirl patterns on their fur. Regardless of the type they are, the highly contrasting striping is no less than a warning sign to anyone who hurts this little animal. They sneak up all of a sudden to blow the most the powerful defense mechanism they have against you—the obnoxious smells they let out from their backs that is bad enough to kill an elephant ( ok! That was exaggerated)

These little stinkers are found in the United States, Canada, South America, and Mexico. Smell badgers, which were recently categorized as a part of the skunk family, are found in Indonesia and the Philippines

Skunks can be hazardous, skunks carry rabies and they can easily convey it to anyone who comes in contact with them.



How dangerous can a skunks spray be?

High convergences of skunk spray are poisonous and toxic to people, as indicated by a recent report in Chemical Educator. The obnoxious smell is so powerful that it is comparable to tear gas since it can cause temporary blindness, coughing, sneezing and choking.

The skunk's spray contains 7 distinctive sulfur-containing concoctions and if absorbed internally by inhalation or mouth,might cause suffocation or difficulty in breathing which can be very serious depending upon the amount of chemical ingested. Some uncommon examples can cause anemia, or genuine harm to the red platelets

What diseases do skunks carry?

Skunks have the capability of spreading one of the most hazardous diseases people have known – rabies. Skunks are known to be the second biggest carriers of the disease after bats, and are hence pose a serious risk to people just as pets

Other than that, Skunks can carry many other infectious diseases, viruses, and parasites that can be transmitted to people or potentially pets through a bite.

Some of the most common diseases include:

Leptospirosis.

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease that is usually caused by the microbes Leptospira interrogans. The microscopic organisms live in the kidney of the carrier. Most warm-blooded mammals can be contaminated with Leptospirosis, including skunks and raccoons which are known to be the common reservoirs of leptospirosis.

Canine Distemper

Skunks can pose a serious health risk to your pets, especially dogs. Distemperment or distemper is a disease that infects raccoons, skunks, and other little warm-blooded animals; which then can be transmitted to cats and dogs easily upon chomping on their feces and urine. Dismemberment is an infection that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous system of infected creatures and is constantly lethal.

Canine Hepatitis.

Irresistible canine hepatitis is brought about by an infection, canine adenovirus 1. Exposure to urine, feces, or saliva from contaminated skunks is the most common course of infection. This virus is further carried by the affected dog in their urine and transmitted to other living beings posing serious risk their well-being.

Intestinal Roundworm (Baylisascaris Columnaris)

Skunks and raccoons are repositories of intestinal roundworm. The side effects of intestinal roundworm include fever, weakness, liver enlargement, absence of coordination and attention towards people and environment, loss of muscle control, trance state, and visual impairment. A few cases have brought about death. Signs and indications of infection may take a week or so on.

Problems caused by skunks to properties

Other than having general health concerns, skunks are dangerous for your properties too. They can meander into your yard, eating away all the vegetation, damaging the landscaping and burrowing through turfs, causing serious harms.

Property holders should educate themselves about the attractions and distractions for a skunk and act accordingly to deter these annoying creatures.

Burrowing – skunks will tunnel under trees in the wild, however, in urban areas, it can go directly under an construction which can be very dangerous.

Chewing – they are known to bite through siding and wood to make tunnels.

Nursery and Lawn Damage – Skunks will search out grubs for foods, which will lead them to delve in the yard and nursery looking for something to eat.
