Request: Keeping Skunks Out of My Yard

Archived on 09/01/2009

I am looking for a safe way to keep skunks out of my back yard. I have a dog so it has to be pet friendly. Can anyone help?

RE: Keeping Skunks Out of My Yard

You need to eliminate their interest in being in your yard. I also have a dog, a very curious dog who was hit twice by a dreaded skunk defense.

We cleared out the brush that the skunk likes to hide in. Then we put in some solar lights that discourage skunks. The trick is to make sure you aren't helping them by providing shelter, food, or dark places. Even so, when we take our dog out late at night we will still keep her on a tight leash, sniff the air and look around before we give her a bit more slack.

Good luck with it. Remember if your dog gets hit, you will be just joining the ranks of those before you cleaning, shampooing, and shampooing some more. Maybe there is a place in heaven for those of us having fought the good fight. I am also the mother of three. I am sure avoiding skunks would help keep down the workload. (04/28/2009)

Call local Animal Control (dog catchers). They may not like you, but they can get the skunk. (05/18/2006)

They will probably kill it & not necessarily in a humane way. I would do a search on-line to see what they don't like. I get skunks & they really don't do any harm unless you go after them. (05/19/2006)

I don't know how to get rid of the skunk, but our local television news just stated that if you see a skunk in the daylight, it probably has rabies. Call the Animal Control people for help. (05/19/2006)
