Skunks could possibly be good neighbors - if managed A skunk is reportedly pilfering cat food in New Columbia/Greater Bliss. Vicky Pike shared farm news from her location in New Columbia/Greater Bliss in a video of a skunk ambling to the doorstep food bowl. She said, "Zippy and Minnie had a Monday night guest that could get right stinky - a skunk stealing Betty Boops food." Skunks are normally thought to be avoided at all costs, however, Cyndie Dunlap McKiddy shared the following information on the Internet: Skunks can be beneficial to your property if managed properly. They can help keep your lawn healthy by eating pests that can damage your home and food, such as rodents - Skunks eat rats, mice, moles, and gophers that can burrow into your home, get into your food, and destroy your foundation. Like insects - Skunks eat grubs, beetles, grasshoppers, yellow jackets, spiders, black widows, cockroaches, and snails. They also eat wasps and honeybees, and will often attack beehives. And other animals - Skunks eat small mammals, such as voles, nestling birds, eggs, fruits and berries, reptiles, and some green vegetation. They are also known to eat poisonous snakes like rattlesnakes. Skunks are omnivores and can eat nearly anything, which makes it easy for them to thrive in a variety of environments. They prefer areas where two different kinds of habitats meet, like a beach and a field or a marsh and a forest. They are nocturnal and spend the day sleeping in dark locations and exit in the evening to search for food. They are excellent diggers and create long, deep burrows in woodlands or open fields that end in a large chamber with a nest of leaves and branches. The trick is to not surprise them or make them feel threatened. This story was posted on 2024-09-03 11:45:14
