ll Wildlife Removal Service will not only remove the skunk(s) that have taken up residence for today, but also make your yard unsuitable for other skunks to move in- for good! According to the New Jersey Audubon Society, "Skunks are nocturnal and secretive. They would prefer to go about their business without ever encountering a human or a dog.
Skunks are members of the weasel family. The striped skunk is the only species of skunk found in New Jersey.
It is about the size of a house cat, primarily black with a white blaze on its forehead and a broad white, usually divided, stripe that runs down its back. Like all skunks, it is omnivorous, feeding on insects (especially grubs), berries and other vegetation, rodents, bird eggs, and garbage. They frequently dig for their food, leaving small conical holes in the soil. Skunks do not hibernate, but den up for the winter, coming out during warmer periods to feed. Breeding takes place during late winter and the young are born in May. Denning occurs in old animal dens, rock piles, brush piles, and under buildings."
