If you suspect a skunk infestation around your Ottawa property, it’s crucial to confirm the signs before seeking professional skunk removal in Ottawa. Skunks are notorious for making their presence known through distinctive signs. One of the most evident signs is the foul odor of their spray, a pungent scent that lingers and can be difficult to remove. This odor is often more noticeable in the evening or early morning when skunks are most active. Additionally, skunks are diggers and often leave small holes in yards as they search for insects and grubs, which can be a telltale sign of their presence.

Apart from the unmistakable smell, there are physical signs that can indicate a skunk has taken up residence near your home. You might notice damage to your lawn or garden, as skunks dig cone-shaped holes in their quest for food. Structural damage can also occur if a skunk decides to make your property its home, including damage under porches, decks, and sheds where they like to create dens. Spotting tracks, which are distinctive due to their five toes and claw marks, around your property is another clear sign that it’s time to consider skunk removal in Ottawa.

Skunks infected with the deadly rabies virus are a greater risk than raccoons and foxes for transmitting this disease to humans and pets. These skunks may be found anywhere in Canada, but it can often be hard to tell which ones have been affected by the virus. However, one way you know is if they transmit rabies via their saliva – so remember that when dealing with them.

Although eliminating the adult is usually effective in getting rid of an invasion, unfortunately that doesn’t always work as babies can still remain hidden from sight in zones beyond our reach.
