Skunk Removal
We all know the black and white striped smelly creature known as a skunk. Skunks have a defense that consists of spraying a foul odor at their predator when they feel endangered. This odor is usually enough to deter the predator and forces them to leave smelling a whole lot worse than before they introduced themselves to the skunk. The smell can lasts for days after contact. Skunks are also one of the main carrier of rabies and for this reason they are a RVS (Rabies Vector Species).
Skunks typically live in holes in the ground. Skunk smells can linger for months around their dens. These holes can be under foundations, porches, sheds, barns, crawlspaces, and trees. The skunk smell can permeate through the ground or crawlspace and be smelled inside the house. Skunks have a decently large home territory and may have multiple holes throughout the territory that they frequent. Skunks have a breeding season in February. During this time the skunks will travel out of their territories in search for a mate. A skunk’s litter is usually between 5-8 kits.
A skunk can usually be trapped and removed from the property without spraying its scent. If you have a hunch that a skunk is living on your property or you catch a skunk and aren’t sure what to do, give us a call at 615-274-9453.

“Joe was great. Responded faster than any others on a weekend call. Worked around our
schedule. Humanely removed a large Racoon and her pups from our attic. Addressed all
our concerns and protected the roof from further invasion. A pleasure to work with.”
