Professional Skunk Trapping & Removal Services

Hiring a professional wildlife control company is often the most effective and safest way to handle skunk removal. They have the expertise, equipment, and permits (where required) to ensure humane and legal removal.

Inspection:

A thorough inspection of your property to identify entry points, den locations, and signs of skunk activity.

Humane Trapping: Professionals typically use live traps to capture skunks without harming them. Some services may use one-way doors that allow skunks to exit but not re-enter.

Relocation or Euthanasia:

Depending on local regulations and the specific situation, trapped skunks will either be relocated to an approved area or, in some cases, humanely euthanized (this is often the case if relocation is illegal or impractical, or if the animal is sick).

Exclusion and Prevention:

After removal, they will seal off entry points with durable materials (like galvanized mesh or hardware cloth) to prevent future intrusions. This might involve repairing holes in foundations, fences, decks, or sheds.

Damage Repair and Cleanup:

Skunks can cause damage by digging or nesting. Professionals may offer services to repair damaged areas (e.g., insulation, siding, ductwork) and clean up droppings and neutralize odors.

Odor Removal:

Skunk spray odor can linger. Professionals often have specialized deodorizing techniques and products to eliminate the smell from affected areas.
