Skunks & Their Diet

Los  Angeles is home to the Western Spotted Skunk and the Striped Skunk .

The striped skunk is omnivorous and has a varied diet. Its diet consists mostly of insects such as beetles,grasshoppers and crickets.  It also eats earthworms, snails, crayfish, wasps and ants. It preys on vertebrates like frogs and small mammals including voles,  mice,  moles,  rats and squirrels.  It also eats bird eggs. Plant matter the skunk eats include blackberries,  raspberries,  black cherries,  blueberries,  grains,  corn and nuts.  Skunks eat mostly insects and mammals during the spring and summer.  During the fall and winter, more plant matter is consumed. In settled areas, skunks also seek human garbage. Less often, skunks may be found acting as scavengers, eating bird and rodent carcasses left by cats or other animals.

Skunks are omnivorous and will eat small rodents, fruits, berries, birds, eggs, insects and larvae, lizards, snakes, and carrion. They have a keen sense of smell that helps them find grubs and other food. Their hearing is acute but they have poor vision.

Pictured above are the culprits and their  skunk damage typical of lawns, parks, and golf courses. Skunks are often known for destroying lawns because they love to hunt for and eat grubs , and other larvae living in your lawn.

LEGAL STATUS OF SKUNKS IN CALIFORNIA

The California Fish and Game Code classifies skunks as nongame mammals. Nongame mammals that are injuring or threatening property may be taken by the owner or tenant of the premises at any time and in any legal manner. Fish and Game regulations prohibit the relocation of skunks and other wildlife without written permission of the Department of Fish and Game. The prevalence of rabies in the skunk population is one of several major reasons for denying relocation.
