Skunk Trapping and Removal

---

When skunks feel cornered or are defending their offspring, their behavior can become unpredictable. Most people think first of their spray and the lingering smell it creates, but that is only part of the concern.

Reach out to a professional skunk removal expert as soon as possible to help avoid these additional problems:

• Secondary Pests: Skunks commonly host fleas, ticks, and mites. If a skunk dies under a home, the carcass can draw flies and other scavengers, which may lead to further infestations and unsanitary conditions.
• Property Damage: Skunks often “grub” for food, creating small, cone-shaped holes throughout lawns as they search for insects and larvae. They may also dig beneath slabs and foundations, which can contribute to cracking and other structural concerns.
• Spraying You, Your Family, Pets, or Property: Skunks are capable of spraying from distances of up to 15 feet, and the odor can linger for weeks. If a spray event occurs near a crawl space or HVAC system, professional remediation is often required to fully eliminate the smell.
• Health Hazards: Skunks are known carriers of rabies across North America. They can also transmit diseases such as leptospirosis, canine distemper, and various intestinal parasites that may affect both people and pets.
