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 not know about rats,or skunks,because i do not have a problem with them,but Squirrels. I still have them! Did not work for those pesky little rodents. I purchased two of them figuring it would be a double wammy ,but they are still running around the attic.

Can't help you - No chipmunks here in mid Florida. I would expect it would prevent them from raiding the sunflower supply, but if they find a way to get to it their little critter crew might make the squirrels look like dieters!

It really depends on the amount of rain you have. It does not take much with each application. Two bottles will last me the entire spring/summer/fall season to keep out skunks. It's no fun having two Labrador retrievers skunked at the same time, twice. The label does not mention skunks but since I have been using it, for about 4 years, we have not had a skunk in the yard even though I see them around the neighborhood.

Hi, no coyotes, but I don't think it would work. Raccoons and skunk have walked right in front of, and around mine- these would not scare off a coyote.

the short answer is "No". We got this to keep a skunk from bothering our chickens. Neighbor's cat visits the chicken pen regularily to hunt for mice.

It worked on my chicken and deer problem. I would expect it to work on skunks. If you have a specific area to defend it should be effective.

I really doubt it. I have seen products that claim to repel skunks on the market

The Sonic Spikes have only been tested to repel underground rodents such as moles and gophers. We would not recommend using this product to repel skunks.

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

I have put them up to deter all kinds of predators. I have not seen skunks or hawks anywhere near my barn since I put them up. It has something to do with eye shine. It has successfully kept opossums out of my hay barn. Actually nothing has entered my barn since I put them up. I have seen raccoons in the area and I use a live trap in tandem. Before the lights it was a party every night in my barn. There were multiple critters all eating my chickens. Since the lights nothing has entered the barn. I had the trap before the lights and it didn't work. Nothing is perfect,but this is working for me. Hope this helps. I have put them up to deter all kinds of predators.

I use mine to get squirrels, so the bait that will draw a squirrel wouldn't really draw a cat. Not sure what skunks eat, so I don't know if it would be an issue. The bigger issue would be what you would do once the skunk was in the trap, I can't imagine how you would relocate a trapped, nervous skunk to an area where you could let it go without getting sprayed.

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!

yes this works great for skunks, at least here in texas where we have foxes too, we have mobile homes and when the skunk decides to make his nest under them let me tell you its tough gettin em out. you can use old panty hose and make balls of this and throw them under the mobile home and sprinkle it around the perimeter and they will be GONE we've been using this product for years and it WORKS, now after a while the smell goes away and they will come back but then another treatment of this, and they're hasta la vista baby

I don't know much about skunk deterence, but very effective in spooking off deer. You sort of have two things going for you: 1) the sudden onset of the sprinkler for a short burst; 2) you can set the duration of the burst, so if the scare of the sudden burst does get 'em, you could increase the duration so they'd get an extra dose of water.

Since we don't currently have raccoons here, I don't know if it would deter them.

Not sure . Their are various frequency settings on it depending on the animal. Settings include deer, raccoons, skunks, rabbits, cats, dogs, rodents. The mount the device at the height from the ground specific to the animal you want to deter. Mine is mounted at the height of a walking cat, I still have squirrels in my yard.
