Are skunks in California dangerous? +

Skunks are one of the primary rabies carriers in California, regulated by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. A skunk that is active in daylight, approaches humans, or moves erratically may be rabid and should be treated as an emergency. Do not attempt to trap or handle a potentially rabid skunk — call a licensed professional in San Bernardino County immediately.

How do skunks get under my deck in San Bernardino County? +

Skunks dig under skirting, through soil gaps, and around openings at the base of any structure that provides sheltered den access. Females specifically seek these locations in late winter to give birth. Once a skunk has denned under your San Bernardino County structure, it will return the following year if the entry point is not sealed with buried hardware cloth.

What time of year are skunks most dangerous in California? +

Skunk activity in California peaks during breeding season — January through March — when males roam at night seeking mates and have a strong spraying response to any perceived threat. This is the period with the highest risk of pets being sprayed near San Bernardino County homes. Females establish den sites under structures in February and March to give birth, and will remain until kits are fully weaned — typically 8–10 weeks.

How do I get rid of skunk smell in my San Bernardino County home? +

Enzyme-based commercial deodorizers outperform home remedies like tomato juice. For spray inside a crawlspace or enclosed area in San Bernardino County, professional-grade oxidizing agents and fogging equipment are required. Standard store-bought products rarely eliminate skunk odor completely from confined spaces — professional deodorization is the only reliable solution.
