Why Skunks Become a Problem in Sherman Oaks

Sherman Oaks has dense residential neighborhoods bordered by natural brush, parks, and greenbelts—ideal habitats for skunks. They are drawn to properties offering easy access to food, shelter, and water. Common attractants include:

  • Crawl spaces and decks providing warm shelter

  • Pet food left outdoors

  • Overgrown yards or unsealed foundation gaps

  • Trash cans without secure lids

  • Gardens with grubs, insects, and fallen fruit

Once skunks settle on your property, they can quickly cause issues that affect your safety, comfort, and property integrity.

Risks and Damages Caused by Skunks

1. Strong Odor and Spray Incidents

Skunk spray is powerful, lingering, and extremely difficult to remove. A startled or cornered skunk can spray pets, children, HVAC intakes, or indoor spaces, spreading the odor throughout the home.

2. Property Damage

Skunks dig burrows under decks, sheds, and foundations. These tunnels compromise structural integrity and allow other wildlife to invade.

3. Threat to Pets

Skunks carry parasites and may spray or scratch pets when confronted.

4. Disease Transmission

Skunks can carry rabies, distemper, leptospirosis, and harmful parasites. Direct or indirect contact is a serious health concern.

5. Yard and Garden Destruction

They dig up lawns, soil, and flowerbeds in search of grubs, insects, and food scraps.

These issues typically worsen over time, which is why immediate professional intervention is necessary.
