Congratulations on your babies!! Skunks and Raccoons

/in /by

Mating season is nearly over for raccoons and skunks, and very shortly they’ll be having lots of babies.  Skunk and raccoon babies are usually born in mid-to late April – up to mid-June. Mothers will go looking for a den where they can have their babies. Skunks like to have their little one under decks, sheds, crawlspaces and foundations of building, and raccoons prefer attics of houses, shed and garages. So here is your heads up moment, now is the time to make sure they will not be using your property as a day care facility. Needless to say, skunks are stinky; add a dozen babies and your house will smell bad, a lot. And having a family of raccoons in your backyard may seem charming at first, but the mess they can make out of your garbage and gardens, as well as the danger to children and pets might make you think twice about letting them set up a base camp out on your property. For skunks, look for areas where gravel has sunken below concrete, where they can climb under a shed or a deck. Raccoons will want to get on roofs, so limit access to your roof. If you have a cedar roof, the older it is the easier raccoons can tear-up the shingles and get in.
