Skunk Living in Backyard

RE: Skunk Living in yard By carnation037 (86) Profile Contact I thought it had been in a corner of our backyard, but it's got to be in the yard right next to ours. It has a lot of downed tree limbs and lots of weeds....lots! Even though there is a fence between the yards...I don't want to be out there when it's smell is strong. I don't want to cause hard feelings with the neighbor but I sure wish they'd clean that up over there. There could be other creepy crawly things hiding in that too.

Calling animal control is probably best, though, due to the very real possibility of rabies.

Anyway, both animals are bad for rabies and most animal controls will be glad to remove them for you.

Mothball's should work but if they do not I don't know about New Jersey but I ended up having the Game Warden trap the skunk and let it lose someplace else in the country. Good Luck and try to keep a close watch on your dog! I think there favorite thing to do is spray dogs and that is whole other story! dar Posted on 01/09/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Skunk Living in Backyard By Rosa (Guest Post) A few years ago we had a major skunk problem, we got a live trap, trapped them, put the trap in large trash bag, closed it good. We then put the trap in the trunk , and took it to a large wildlife area near us. When we opened the trap, the skunks were too glad to " get free " to bother spraying us, they just took off, and lived happily ever after. :-) Rose Posted on 01/09/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Skunk Living in Backyard By Donna (Guest Post) Hi! this furry critter is protecting something most likely and just to be sure and to remove the critter and its source he or she is guarding contact the Humane Society or Animal Control. Another caution to be sure it is no rapid the cute critter may have to be obsevered for a few days without harm to it. Better to be safe and have the critter placed in an remote sitting for it's own protection as well as yours and your pets. Good Luck!

Skunks are known for carrying rabbise (?), which is why the county was eager to remove the skunks. Make a few calls and see if you can get the little guy removed :0) Maggie in Bloomington, MN Posted on 01/09/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Skunk Living in Backyard By MCW (1010) Profile Blog! Contact Try putting some moth balls around the area, and I believe that it will get rid of the "Little Stinker." Then he will move and take up residence some other place.
