Skunk Identification
Skunks can carry rabies and other pathogens, and of course the highly unpleasant smell
What are skunks?
Skunks are well recognized mammals in Denver and throughout Colorado that vary in size from about 15.6 to 37 inches and in weight from about 3 pounds to 15 pounds. They have a moderately elongated body with reasonably short, well-muscled legs and long front claws for digging.
Are they dangerous?
Skunks can carry rabies and other pathogens and of course they can be a nuisance because of the highly unpleasant smell they release when frightened.
So why do I have them?
Skunks will commonly nest under concrete porches and storage sheds where the can easily dig a burrow.
How do you get rid of them?
Getting rid of skunks is generally done by live trapping; however, in some instances we may be able to evict them.
Trapped animals are humanely euthanized as per Division of Wildlife guidelines.
A full plan for removal, damage repair and cleanup is offered during the initial inspection.
