Skunk Capture and Removal

Skunk Removal Before You Have Issues With Odor

Halker's Wildlife Control Services, LLC knows all about the black and white striped and smelly 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.   Book your skunk removal today or call us at (615) 675-6068.
