Skunk Trapping and Removal

Skunks are notorious for their odor, but they also dig under foundations, decks, and sheds, causing property damage and potential health risks. Our Skunk Trapping and Removal service is designed to humanely capture and relocate skunks while addressing the conditions that attract them. We use our understanding of their behavior, denning habits, and seasonal activity to provide long-term solutions.

Safe and Humane Skunk Removal Process

Skunks often burrow beneath porches, sheds, or crawl spaces in search of shelter. We start by inspecting the property to locate dens, then use safe, no-spray trapping techniques. Once removed, we seal off access points and provide odor control solutions if needed.

• Inspection to locate burrows and signs of skunk activity
• Humane, scent-minimizing trapping techniques
• Safe relocation in accordance with wildlife regulations
• Exclusion work: sealing of entry points under structures
• Odor control and sanitation of affected areas
• Property grading or screening recommendations to prevent return
• Follow-up monitoring for recurring activity

Frequently Asked Questions About Skunk Removal

Skunks present unique challenges—especially their potent defense mechanism. Here are answers to common concerns about skunk removal and how we manage it safely.

What are the signs of a skunk on my property?
Strong odors, cone-shaped holes in your yard, and burrowing under decks or sheds are typical indicators. Nighttime sightings and pet interactions are also common.

Will the skunk spray during removal?
We use specialized traps and handling techniques designed to avoid startling the animal. In most cases, the skunk is removed without spraying.

How do I keep skunks from coming back?
Sealing burrows, removing food sources (pet food, trash), and installing barriers like deck skirting can effectively deter future skunk activity. We provide customized prevention plans for your property.
