How Far Does Skunk Odor Spread?

A skunk’s spray can travel as far as 18 feet (5.5 m), and humans can
smell it a mile (1.6 km) away.

A skunk’s odor can be detected by humans as far as 1 mile (1.6 km) away.
When a skunk feels threatened, it sprays an odorous fluid from its anus.
The odor is not dangerous, but it is extremely pungent. Skunks can spray as
far as 18 feet (5.5 m) if it is carried by the wind, although an average
spray travels about 12 feet (3.6 m) with accuracy. The scent of a skunk’s
spray on a surface typically goes away after two to four months without
action, but applying acidic items, such as tomato juice or diluted vinegar,
to the surface will offset the scent of the skunk's highly alkaline spray.
