Skunks
The size of a cat or smaller with long fur and bushy tails, skunks are easily identified by their distinctive black and white coloration. These near-sighted omnivores have a hearty appetite for grubs and insect pests, and have also been known to consume mice and small rats. They are members of the Mustelid family, which also includes weasels, martens, and badgers. Skunks are found throughout North America, with only one species found in Asia.

How do you get rid of skunks without killing them?
Indrustial strength amonia and cayenne pepper.
You may dilute the amonia in a sprayer and spray the area that the skunk frequents. Also, the cayenne pepper can be applied in additional to or in lieu of the amonia. The skunk hates both. I am not sure which last the longest.

What state or country do skunks live in?
Skunks are found in both North and South America, not including the northernmost parts of Canada. There are four different species of skunks found in North America and the most common is the striped skunk. Spotted skunks usually live in northern Mexico. Hooded skunks are found in the southwestern parts of the United States. Skunks like to live in open lands next to forest areas and in clearings. Skunks typically make their homes along rivers, logs, or in thickets. Most skunks have more than one home and will travel from one to the other during the day. If they get near human homes, they will pick sheds, porches, decks and woodpiles to construct a home at. Skunks are also sensitive to light, so they will find a place that is relatively dark.

Will insurance pay if a skunk sprays your house?
I'd just go spend a hundred dollars on a variety of cleaners and odor removers and then air out that area of the house as much as possible, throw out anything that was absorbent. Probably still less than the deductible. Not to mention the possibility of an increased premium at renewal time due to prior claims and a loss of any claim free discounts.
AnswerTo add, to that response, it depends on your insurance company. The standard exclusion under almost every homeowner's policy with regards to this: "birds, vermin, rodents, insects, or animals owed or kept by an insured".... Read between the lines- its not an absolute animal exclusion as original response suggests. Pull your policy and read it. AnswerSo, a skunk is not a bird, rodent, insect, nor an animal kept by you (I would hope), BUT, they MAY be considered "vermin". Now, I have had 2 clients with the same claim (skunk contamination), one insurance company covered it, but the other did not. The one that did not cover it felt skunks fell under the "vermin" definition. If your insurance company defines skunk as vermin, i would suggest you find a new insurer. Even worse, if they try to invoke the "pollutant" exclusion, fight them on it! The company that covered the skunk claim has a 5 letter name, begins with "C" and ends with "B"...Source- 10 years insurance industry experience.
No, they live in groups called 'tribes', usually with 3-8 males and 20-30 females, plus the babies (which are called Pups).
