Baby Skunks
Skunks are one of the most frightening animals to have near the home, and for good cause. The most common problem with these mammals is that they stink! Skunks are known to spray anything they perceive to be an adversary, and their extraordinarily stinky spray has been known to travel up to 23 feet. Skunks will only attack if cornered or defending their young, and they will frequently spray pets that they perceive to be a threat. However, spraying isn't the first method of defense. Skunks will spit, growl, puff their fur, shake their tail, and stomp their feet on the ground. They will lift their tail and spray their famed skunk odor if the invader does not leave.

They eat acorns and nuts that were buried in the autumn during the cold months, but they don't remember where they hid their food, contrary to popular perception. The food they find using their acute sense of smell was most likely hidden by another squirrel. The squirrel can find enough food to survive even if it is covered in snow.

Skunks are nocturnal, which means that they are most active at night. They don't hibernate in the classic sense, but they do go dormant for the coldest months of the year, when many congregate in communal dens for warmth. One of the only other times that skunks tend to mingle is during mating season. Skunks have 4-12 young in litters that are born between late April and early June. They dig holes in lawns, gardens, and golf courses in search of food, however they prefer insects, earthworms, and grubs. They may even burrow under buildings by entering foundation openings if no other means of shelter is available.
Squirrels Vs. Chipmunks
Homes provide a large number of appealing nesting areas for birds. They prefer sheltered areas such as dormers, gutters, vents, and eaves to roost. Birds will intuitively fly inside if there is a gap or opening in the structure. Birds will continue to bring in any nesting materials they can find once they have gained entry, which can pose a fire hazard.
Our trained bird removal experts will inspect your home, chimney, and attic for bird entry points as well as any active nests that may be present. Droppings in your attic or insulation must also be detected and removed.
