Why Does My House Smell Like a Skunk?

If you smell a skunk in your home, you might be surprised that it is not necessarily the source of the odor.

Sewage and natural gas can also produce similar repulsive smells that are often misidentified but have some much more dangerous consequences if they are not addressed. 

IS A SKUNK’S SMELL DANGEROUS?

The infamous smell of skunk is a noxious sensation with naturally repelling qualities. The potent smell results from a chemical spray that a skunk releases as a defense mechanism when it feels under threat.

The hazardous gas does not only repel those due to its smell but also the additional dangerous effects that the chemicals cause. The chemical spray does not necessarily have to come into direct contact with the target.
