提到臭鼬「Skunks」,首先想到的就是它释放出来的那股不可言喻的臭味。除了会释放含有硫化物的极臭气体外,臭鼬也是狂犬病和其他疾病的携带者。臭鼬广泛分布在墨西哥以北、至加拿大南部,在整个全美都很常见。

预防和驱除臭鼬的方法
清除可能吸引臭鼬的食物来源
- 臭鼬和浣熊等动物都爱翻垃圾,所以户外的垃圾桶一定要密封好。有专门的垃圾桶锁扣、防止动物乱翻。

- 臭鼬是食腐动物。如果你家院里的树有坚果、浆果、山楂等果实,要经常打理这些树、清理掉下来的果子。
- 清除院子里成堆的灌木、木头或其他杂物,因为它们对臭鼬来说是不错的藏身之处甚至是食物来源。
- 不要在户外摆放喂食宠物用的碗。如果有喂鸟器要挂高一点。
- 臭鼬也会吃昆虫和幼虫,院子里定期除虫也有助于预防臭鼬。
清除可能吸引臭鼬的藏身之地
- 臭鼬喜欢在露台、门廊和其他隐蔽的地方安家。这些可能吸引臭鼬的空间要用石头、栅栏等封起来。
- 成堆的木材或建筑材料也可能成为臭鼬的藏身之处,这些材料应该储存在棚子或密封的垃圾箱里。
- 臭鼬还可能在茂密的灌木丛里栖息,因此灌木丛要及时修剪 。
安装户外感应灯
臭鼬喜欢夜间出行,会避开强光。在院子里安装感应灯有助于预防臭鼬。
喷洒防臭鼬剂
- 喷防臭鼬剂方便省事,但缺点是需要经常喷洒,尤其是雨季。

清除家里的臭味
臭鼬一般不会跟到室内来,但是人和宠物中招后,可能会把臭味带进家里。
- 通风。把门窗、风扇都打开,以保证家里能够全面通风。
- 把醋加热,放在房间各个角落。你可能不喜欢满屋醋味,但当醋味散去时、臭鼬的臭味也会随之而去。
