Will the scarecrow deter skunks?

I believe if you push it into the ground as far as it will go the sensor will pick up a skunk moving along the ground==we use ours for deer so I'm not positive, but I know my German Shepherd sets it off every time she goes near it!

yep as long as it has a heartbeat, it picks up on thermal does not care what kinda animal it is! I would probably not use the extension that comes with it I would keep it lower to the ground, i absolutely love mine

It might work on skunks. I've seen it detect a cat at close range. Generally, the smaller and slower the animal is, the less likely it will be detected. Thick fur and high ambient temperature are other factors that limit thermal detection. Works very well on people and deer, but not very well on cats.

Do skunks have any natural predators? If the fox is one, this stuff will work.

I don't know about skunks since we don't have any around here anyway, but it does seem to repel rats and mice.

NO! Search Amazon for the Scarecrow. It's a motion-detecting sprinkler. I have one in my yard and it scares off cats, dogs and other animals. It's the only thing that has worked. Don't waste money on "ultrasonic" junk.

Gutter Brushes would work as a deterrent, but I don't believe they would be sufficient to stop a determined rodent.

All dogs would detect the oder. The reaction of individual an dog would vary. Many would start a search behavior, others not. Many dogs will peruse skunk scent for example. Although probably not a wise choice, skunks are not considered preditors by dogs. I would not recommend this product as repellent for dogs. It actually may have just the opposite effect.

I imagine that they will nibble the leaves that poke through, but we used this as a bird deterrent. Worked great for birds.

It will for sure. I have coyotes that come to my house too, and I keep a crossbow just in case they get too close to my animals too.

No, not at all. It will look a little spooky to them at first, but after a couple of days they will go in and out as usual.Look for the one inch mesh, it will not just prevent birds, it will also prevent possum and raccoon as well.

NO, it will not. I use it all over my gardens to repel Bunnies and it works 100%. I have a dog and it does not "repel" her from the garden.

mine has worked in Colorado on both skunks and raccoons for over a year. it just took about two weeks for the skunks to be convinced that that high frequency sound wasn't going anywhere. good luck.

Here in the upper dessert it deters them for awhile, but ants being ants, seem to return....maybe with hyper vigilance and a rigorous consistent schedule of application they will turn from the oak.....good luck!

You just sprinkle it. It helped slightly with the skunk. It didn't deter the rabbits. It also has to be re-applied every few days and after it rains.

yes, but it is junk. i bought one that broke in 1 month they sent me a new one and it broke in 2 months. buy the scarecrow water sprayer one it works great.

Skunks don't scare that easily; they have to feel threatened and even then they warn before they spray. So, my guess is that it could work hypothetically (if it works on other other animals--certainly it can work for deer) but I am guessing that since the motion detector panel that sets off the water is higher than a skunk (low to the ground) would generally be, it might not register the skunk's presence. You may want to consider a Scarecrow which can be set lower, or a solar flashing light. We have all three (including the Havahard Spray Away Elite II) and so far have had good luck with that combination (for deer at least, and maybe other night roaming creatures.)

I don't know about that one. I'd read up on the product before I'd put it on my animal. I've heard tomato juice works for skunk, but I've never had a dog that tangled with one so not sure about that either, sorry!

I have caught racoons, skunks and groundhogs...and my chickens...I think the rabbit thing would depend on the bait used but I don't see why it wouldn't work as chickens are light too.
