Skunks are legendary for their powerful predator-deterrent, horrible-smelling spray. These animals have adapted very well to urban areas and frequently live under sheds and in crawl spaces, much to the annoyance of the homeowner. Unfortunately, it is illegal to relocate these beautiful creatures to a more “wild” area and learning how to co-exist is the best solution. Orphaned babies can be brought to Project Wildlife but nuisance adults should be handled with a phone call to Wildlife Extraction.
