Transient Skunks


Question
Wondering if there is any product to deter skunks from parading through property? They are living close by and seem to parade mater of factly at the same time and place each day.
We have dogs and feel like a prisoner in our own yard

Answer
Hi David,

Yeah skunks will do that. Their activity varies with the time of year. Sometime they are settled to one area and other times they have long circuits of trails they follow and you'll have different ones every night.  Dogs are a real problem as they have no instincts about skunks and easily get into trouble.  Dogs have Asian origins and skunks are strictly Americas... so they don't know each other by instincts. The skunk thinks them coyote or wolf, and the dog is completely ignorant of the dangers of messing with a skunk. But for some reason cats and skunks get along together... tho cats have Asian origins as well.  I make electronic deterrents that do a great job of deterring skunks from large open areas.  Here is the website
