Skunks are an obvious pest due to their odor. They also dig holes and can take up residency in or near your home or office. They are nocturnal and often dig holes in which to sleep. They will live under sheds, decks, etc. They may mark these areas as their own causing a horrible smell. The often carry rabies as well. If a skunk is scared or threatened, they will spray them causing odor and temporary blindness.
The Most Common Skunk Complaints:

You can prevent skunks from taking up residence on your property. Install a barrier around your deck, so they cannot crawl underneath it. Make sure you do not leave your pet food outside. If you or your pet has been sprayed if you mix hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap together you can get rid of the smell.
