Skunks are very active in the month of February as their mating season begins in late January. With this increase in activity comes an increase in skunk sprays. You may have experienced this smell recently near your home or as you are traveling on the roads. Skunks tend to spray during the mating season for two reasons. First, 2 males competing for the same female will spray, and females will spray to make males aware when she is not interested.
Oftentimes, skunks are prey to road traffic, but especially during the breeding season. Regularly, a skunk has a range of one half to two miles, but during the mating season, male skunks may travel 4 to 5 miles a night. Roadkill skunks give off the skunk spray smell because their anal glands that store their musk rupture.
Increased skunk activity may also cause increase sprays towards curious pets or other animals. Sometimes home or business owners mistakenly think they have a skunk problem when a pet or other animal gets sprayed and seeks shelter near their home or business. Of course this isn’t always the case since increased skunk movement means a skunk may stumble upon an ideal den on your property. Common man-made skunk dens include the underneath of porches, porch stoops, decks, and sheds.
