HOW TO KILL A SKUNK?

Human settlements are expanding every year, inviting more and more wildlife to their home, while houses are getting closer to the animals. Even though skunk will avoid interaction with people, sooner or later they will come across one another. A lot of people just want to kill the pest as soon as they spot it. Skunks are highly undesirable due to their ability to spray some sticky and horrible smelling spray. Furthermore, they are also the carriers of the rabies, everybody is so scared of. There are several options how to kill a skunk, but the biggest challenge is how to kill the skunk without getting sprayed. Here are some New Canaan animal trapping options how to kill the skunk:

• Shooting • Lethal traps • Poison

Shooting the animal is quite spread and more suited New Canaan exterminator method for rural areas in the country. Suburban and urban areas represent much higher risk when shooting something, while there are a lot of other persons and pets that might get shot by mistake involved. Shooting itself seems quite undemanding but there are some serious problems you need to think about, when deciding, whether or not to kill the skunk. The shooting area needs to be professionally disinfected. The blood of the skunk might be infected with several serious diseases that can be transferred to humans. A child´s play in that kind of areas could be potentially dangerous for health. And of course there is a proper disposal of carcasses involved as well.

Lethal traps are one of the worst options how to kill the skunk. This New Canaan pest control option is inhumane and very painful for the animal. The usual lethal trap is a spring-loaded connibear trap. It kills by choking the animal. These traps can be lethal not only to skunks but to other unwanted targets as well. They are banned in some areas.

Poisoning is also a very bad New Canaan wildlife removal choice while killing a skunk. Poison is a big threat to everyone around, other animals or even to a child.

The smell of dissolving carcass you can´t reach is going to be unbearable.

There is really no need for using inhumane New Canaan animal control methods of killing the pests or even killing it at all. Trapping the animal alive and relocating it to a more suitable location is always a god solution. However, you must be always wearing gloves when handling the skunks. Whether in traps or their carcasses...
