Skunk Breeding Season is Here – Act Now to Avoid Bigger Problems!

As winter fades and the days begin to lengthen, skunks in Connecticut enter their breeding season, which runs from mid-February through March. During this time, skunks become more active, seeking shelter in ideal den sites—often under sheds, decks, and stoops. If left undisturbed, these temporary shelters can quickly turn into nurseries, making skunk removal far more complicated and costly.

Why Act Now?

Once skunks give birth in April or May, removing them humanely becomes a greater challenge. Mother skunks are highly protective of their young, and relocation requires extreme care to avoid separating the family. Additionally, young skunks won’t leave the den for several weeks, meaning homeowners could be stuck with unwanted guests for an extended period. Acting now ensures that skunks are removed before they rear their young, preventing lingering odors, property damage, and potential encounters with pets.

The Importance of Professional Wildlife Removal

While DIY solutions might seem appealing, handling nuisance wildlife without proper training can be dangerous and ineffective. Skunks carry the risk of rabies and are notorious for their defensive spray, which can linger for days. A professional wildlife control company like Verdant Pest Control ensures that skunk removal is done safely, humanely, and in compliance with local regulations. Experts utilize proven techniques to remove and exclude skunks, preventing future infestations while minimizing harm to the animals and your property.
