How to identify skunk burrow?

When skunks are living in the wild or rural area, they dig their burrow under the rock piles or hollow logs, etc. Anyhow, when they move to the urban areas and start digging to make their burrow under the sheds, deck at that time, they can be the most damaging and irritating animals for anyone.

They basically dig the grounds to make their burrows where they can stay, rest, raise there younger’s; sometimes they do this to hide their predators. While digging the burrow, they may disturb the den of other animals. In one burrow, they make several chambers, so you can imagine how they can make your soil so weak and can destroy your home.

Before looking for their hole or den keeps in mind, they may be using the hole that was left by another pet or rodent. You may get rid of those animals but forget to repair the hole; this can be the same hole that is now using by skunks. Anyhow, they do not always use the hole that was left by other animals; sometimes, they make a new hole under deck or porches where they can rest or place their younger’s.

They usually use these holes in the winter at the time of giving birth. They also make these holes to prevent the cold and will spend most of their time in these holes. So if you find a hole under the porch, deck, or at the place where you can notice the soil is getting week there are chances under that soil skunks will be living in their holes. If the holes contain a lot of chambers, it is sure that its skunks burrow. If you want to make sure by watching them, then you can place a portion of food that has a strong odor like peanut butter near to the suspicious place, it will attract them, and they will come out to eat this food. While doing this process, hide otherwise they may get back to the hole or may produce their scent to protect themselves.

Skunk burrow vs. skunk holes

Skunk uses their burrow habit to find out the food and to make their den while the pets dig the hole in search of insects that are called skunks hole, but they can use the holes to make their den. Anyhow these holes are only a few inches while their burrow ranges from 6-8 inch entrance, so if they wish to make the den, they can extend the hole.
