Skunks Are Skilled Diggers
Skunks have strong claws that allow them to dig into almost any kind of earth to forage for their food, which includes insects and worms. The claws are also strong enough to uproot cultivated dirt, like the kind you add to your garden. In hot weather, skunks will dig a burrow and hide themselves away until evening arrives when they can continue to hunt. When the heat arrives, skunks may choose a shady spot in your backyard to make a burrow, such as under a deck or at the base of a large shade tree. You may not know the animals are there at first but they may react by spraying you or your pets if startled. Our wildlife control team in Milwaukee can inspect your property for skunk burrows and humanely remove any animals we find.Skunks May Hide in Shaded Structures
