The questions we get asked most about skunk removal.
No. We trap skunks humanely using methods that avoid spraying. If odour is already inside the house, we deal with the source rather than masking it, because air fresheners and home remedies only cover the smell until the material is gone.
Skunks want a sheltered den at ground level, and an elevated deck or shed sits on exactly the kind of dry, protected space they look for. Sealing the gap is the permanent fix, and it has to be dug in rather than boarded over.
No, inspections are always free. We check where it is denning, how it is getting in and whether young are present, then give you a price for the work. There is no charge for the visit whether you go ahead or not.
Those are skunk grubbing holes. Skunks dig shallow cones to reach grubs and insects sitting just under the surface. Finding them usually means a skunk is living close by, often under a deck, porch or shed on the same property.
