It’s very easy to recognize skunks with their distinctive black and white fur and fluffy, upright tail. Skunks are most known for their odor, which is released when threatened or randomly. In addition to simply smelling quite foul, the fluid released is known to burn the eyes of anyone nearby. These wild animals are very common in suburban areas here in Atlanta GA, and they will often live in or near your yard. Skunks aren’t the most dangerous animal, but they should nonetheless always be handled by a professional skunk trapping & removal expert.
