Skunks are home-cat sized animals well known for the horrible sticking liquid that these Olympia animal release. It is a thick fluid that is made in the glands under the tail of a skunk and its primary function is to keep the predators away. It is found in various combinations of colors mostly black with white stripes but it can also be a combination of black and white dots etc. These stinking animals are also known as Washington stink badgers.



These are mostly found in America. Except the Asian stink badger. Skunks can live anywhere under a shelter. It could be an underground rodent tunnel or the basement of an empty building. Washington kunks change their habitat from time to time in search of food. This fact has brought them closer to the human habitats and the number of reported encounters between humans and these legendary awfully stinking creatures have increased.

Skunk can cause a great damage to your Olympia property. They can destroy your beautiful garden, your house vents and even the wiring under the ducts. They are well known for tearing the vents and ducts of your house to make a suitable crawling space. They can tear you heating system ducts and make holes in them to crawl up into your house. This will make the whole house smelly and it will be impossible to live in it. Skunks are burrowing animals in nature and they love making their dens under your houses. These dens damage the strength of your floors and the soil under your house starts slipping. Washington kunks can cause expense damage to your landscapes, your gardens and your farms.

So, it is better that you become efficient and remove the Olympia skunk of your property. An alive skunk will not leave its shelter easily because it is lazy animal and likes settling at one place. The most efficient way of removing skunk from its den is the one-way exclusion funnel method. One-way exclusion funnel is a funnel sort of cage with openings on both side and a duct in between. This metal duct opens only from one side. Place this funnel on the opening of the skunks den with the duct opening side towards the den. After seeing this funnel on the opening of its den the skunk will hesitate to come out of the den but when it starts starving it will have to come out. The duct opens only to one side so the skunk can pass through it and go out but when the skunk tries to go back in the den through the funnel the duct will not allow it to as it cannot open from the other side. When the Washington skunk tries to push the duct, the funnel gates will close from both the ends and the skunk will get trapped in it.
