Skunk Removal Cold Spring, KY: For about the last month, skunks in our area have been dormant, laying low and waiting out the cold weather. Late January marks the beginning of the skunk mating season in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area. The onset of breeding season means skunks will begin traveling more frequently and further in search of a mate. Typically skunks stay in a 1/2 to 2 mile diameter area, but during mating season, a male may travel 4 to 5 miles a night. Due to increased travels, you will likely start seeing more skunks hit on the roads. You will also begin smelling skunk musk for a variety of reasons related to an increase in travels. First, when a skunk is hit on the road, their anal glands that store their musk rupture; second, skunks in unfamiliar territory encounter dogs, cats, raccoons, etc., and they spray to protect themselves; third, a male skunk may spray another suitor to ward him off, or a female may spray a male if uninterested.
Skunk musk can be smelled from a mile away. In addition, if an animal or area has been sprayed by a skunk, it will linger for quite some time. This can make it difficult for businesses and homeowners to determine whether they actually have a skunk problem. So, how do you know if you have a skunk problem? Customers typically call Tri-State Wildlife Management with a skunk problem either after smelling strong skunk spray or after seeing one. Skunks typically live under man made structures such as porches, stoops, sheds, and decks. Sometimes, customers don’t even realize that there is a hole dug out from under the bottom of their porch for animal entry, and oftentimes even if they do, customers assume chipmunks are the culprit.
