About Skunks in Waterloo Region
Believe it or not, the skunk is one of our most beneficial animals. An estimated 70% of a skunk’s diet consists of insects and mice — things we’d all prefer not to have around. Despite this, skunks become a problem when they decide to live under our sheds, decks, and homes. Their musky spray can cause nausea, eye irritation, and in some cases respiratory distress for your family and pets.
Our Skunk Removal Process
- Step 1 – Inspect: On-site inspection to determine existing and potential entry points under your structure.
- Step 2 – Plan: Develop a humane eviction plan and present you with a written proposal.
- Step 3 – Remove: Begin the eviction process and install a skunk-proof perimeter screen.
- Step 4 – Follow-Up: Follow-up inspection and one-way door removal.
Skunk Health Risks
Beyond the notorious odour, skunks can carry serious diseases:
- Rabies: Quite common in skunks and transmitted through blood and saliva. Vaccinate your pets and keep them supervised outdoors.
- Spray-related issues: Skunk spray can cause temporary blindness, nausea, and respiratory distress in pets and people.
If you suspect you or your pet has been in contact with a potentially rabid skunk, call your area Health Unit and a veterinarian immediately.
