What’s more, their presence often indicates high humidity or moisture issues in the home, which can lead to further pest problems.

Skunks are primarily active at night. If you are trying to keep skunks away, understand that you probably won’t see them moving much during the day, so you may struggle to measure your progress.

Skunks tend to be most active during the early spring months when seeking extra food or mates.
