Are you facing issues with skunks at your home or business property? These small creatures with distinctive white stripes can cause a multitude of problems that go beyond their notorious skunk smell. From digging up your garden in search of food to spreading diseases and causing structural damage, skunks can quickly become a nuisance animal that requires prompt and professional attention.
Skunks, known scientifically as Mephitis mephitis, are nocturnal animals that are known for their strong odor, which they release as a defense mechanism. However, their presence can lead to various issues:
Foul Odors: The most obvious and immediate problem caused by skunks is the unpleasant smell. Skunk spray is a mixture of sulfurous chemical oils that can be detected by the human nose from miles away. The odor can permeate your home, clothes, and even your pet's fur, making it difficult to get rid of.
Damage to Property: Skunks are always in search of food and will often dig up lawns and gardens to find insects and grubs. This can cause major damage to your landscape and, in some cases, even lead to structural damage.
Health Hazards: Skunks are carriers of rabies, a deadly viral infection that can be transmitted to humans and pets through bites or scratches. Other common diseases associated with skunks include canine hepatitis and leptospirosis.
Dealing with a skunk infestation is not only stressful but also poses significant health risks. At AAAC Wildlife Removal, we understand the challenges involved in skunk removal, and we are here to help. Our comprehensive skunk control services are designed to address the skunk issue at every level, ensuring your property is free from these nuisance wildlife and preventing them from returning.
Inspection: The first step in our skunk removal process is a thorough inspection of your property. Our trained technicians will look for signs of skunks such as tracks, droppings, and digging in your yard. We will identify their entry points, such as openings under buildings, and assess the extent of the infestation. This comprehensive inspection allows us to tailor our approach to your specific skunk issue.
Exclusion: Skunks are persistent creatures and will often try to re-enter a property even after being removed. To prevent this, we will install exclusion devices such as wire mesh or cage-type traps at all identified entry points. These devices will allow skunks to leave your property but prevent them from returning. Additionally, we will recommend and implement other preventative measures, like securing your pet food and other food sources that might attract skunks.
Removal: Once the exclusion devices are in place, we will use cage traps and other humane methods to capture and remove the skunks from your property. Our team is trained to handle skunks safely and carefully to avoid sudden movements and provide ample warning to the animal, minimizing the risk of being sprayed.
Clean up: After the skunks are removed, it is crucial to clean up the affected areas thoroughly. Skunks leave behind droppings, urine, and sometimes even dead skunks, all of which can pose health hazards and attract other wildlife. Our team will clean and disinfect the space, remove any dead skunks, and neutralize the skunk smell using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and liquid detergent.
Damage Repair: Skunks can cause significant structural damage to your property in search of food or shelter. They may dig under foundations, rip apart insulation, and even chew through electrical wires. Our team will repair any damage caused by the skunks, including sealing openings under buildings, installing chicken wire to prevent digging, and replacing damaged insulation and wiring.
Prevention: The final step in our skunk removal process is prevention. We will implement preventative measures to deter skunks from returning to your property. This includes installing motion-sensor lights, which skunks find disorienting, and applying an animal repellent around the perimeter of your property. Additionally, we will provide recommendations for modifying your landscape and removing attractants like bird feeders and fruit trees.

To prevent skunks from entering your property, it is important to eliminate the factors that attract them. Make sure all outdoor garbage cans are tightly sealed and secure any potential food sources such as pet food or bird feeders.
