Do Skunk Problems Go Away?
Not until all the offending skunks in your area have been removed.Most people make the mistake of stopping at trapping all the skunks but without professional help the den sites will continue to be used year round by another skunk in the area.

Why Do They Spray? The notorious feature of skunks is their anal scent glands, which they can use as a defensive weapon.Skunks have two glands, one on either side of the anus, that produce a mixture of sulfur-containing chemicals that have a highly offensive smell that can be described as a combination of the odors of rotten eggs, garlic and burnt rubber. The odor of the fluid is strong enough to ward off bears and other potential attackers, and can be difficult to remove from clothing. Muscles located next to the scent glands allow them to spray with high accuracy as far as 7 to 15 ft. The smell aside, the spray can cause irritation and even temporary blindness, and is sufficiently powerful to be detected by even an insensitive human nose anywhere up to a mile downwind. Their chemical defense, though unusual, is effective!
