Skunk Control Richmond Hill
A skunk loitering around on your property may make you wary of the awful stink these animals are capable of emitting. However, this isn’t the only reason to keep these animals away from your family, pets and your home. The presence of skunks in your immediate vicinity can be a liability on several fronts, and getting rid of them is often the best solution.
For starters, here’s what a skunk can do as an animal that is capable of carrying and transmitting diseases. The list begins with the dreadful and potentially fatal rabies virus and moves on to others such leptospirosis, tularemia, intestinal roundworm, intestinal ringworm, canine distemper and canine hepatitis among others. In fact, the spray a skunk emits, and the one thing most of us fear, doesn’t really hold any health risk, except for the awful smell. It is the feces, urine and then, the scratches and bites of infected skunks that pose harm to both humans as well as other animals.
Skunks can cause considerable damage to the structure of your home too. Their digging and burrowing habits see them damage your lawns and gardens with numerous small holes. And when it comes to denning, they can even weaken the foundation of your home by burrowing deep into the soil beneath it.

Why are Skunks a Health Risk ?
Skunks may look like timid creatures, and they are too, but without knowing that they are causing harm, these animals actually end up spreading a long list of serious health risks. The first one on the list is of course the potentially fatal disease of rabies. Skunks are recognized carriers of rabies and every year, several cases of rabid skunks are documented in North America. Once infected, these rabid skunks are not only capable of passing the dreaded disease to other animals in their own species, but are even capable of passing it on to other animals.
The other serious diseases associated with skunks and pose a threat to humans as well as animals are Canine Distemper, Canine Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Tularemia, Intestinal Roundworm and Intestinal Ringworm.
How Skunks Cause Property Damage
Skunks have two strong reasons for digging and burrowing – food and shelter. While on the hunt for worms and grubs, and even smaller rodents such as mice, rats and moles, skunks end up digging numerous holes on a property, and they sure don’t differentiate between a well-kept expensive lawn and a patch of wasteland! When it comes to burrowing to make their dens, skunks are even known to dig into the foundation of houses, thereby reducing the structural strength and even putting the homeowners at risk.
