Skunk Problems in Virginia?
Customers have skunk problems for a number of reasons. Most common is when skunks decide to live under or around a home. You will notice a small half moon hole where the skunk digs under your front porch or the skunk is beneath your shed. You could also keep smelling skunks around the house. The skunks may be there just to give birth but in the spring it is common the skunks are giving birth underneath the structure. Skunks like giving birth and raising skunk babies under porches and sheds because there is normally an open space beneath. All the skunk has to do is dig a little hole and it opens up for a perfect skunk breeding ground.
We also get asked alot, what digs little holes in my yard? This could be skunks. Skunks eat grubs that live in yards. When the skunk locates a grub, mainly by smell, the skunk will dig the yard up and make little funnel like excavations. This is where he digs until he catches the grubs and eats them. If you are having skunks digging in the yard, it is also a sign that there are skunks living nearby.
