Our Nuisance Skunks Procedure and Pricing

Skunk trapping

Just like most wildlife we trap and relocate skunks as well. Once the animal is trapped, we use a tarp to lay over the trap so it calms the animal so we don't get sprayed. Lids on trash cans, barriers around decks, and grub free lawns will keep skunks away. Note: If sprayed by a skunk apply peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap mixed together. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. You may have to apply a few times. You can also try the oldest trick in the book, bathing in tomato juice.

Skunk Capture and Relocation

intro to Skunks

Skunks are very recognizable with their black and white fur. Skunks will generally live under decks and in dens or holes. Skunks eat grubs and other insects beneath your sod.  They will also rummage through your garbage looking for food.  Skunks are near sighted and nearly blind.  The maneuver using their sense of smell. Their first line of defense is to spray an awful musky oil from scent glands around their anus. Skunks can spray over 10 feet. When threatened skunks will stomp their front feet and raise their tail. Back away slowly!

A More In Depth Look Into Skunks

Skunk trapping is the best and really only method to get rid of them. Charging for skunk trapping is much like trapping raccoon's, squirrels, or feral cats.  We charge a set up fee/inspection to come out to your home to survey the property and strategically set traps. Depending on the location of your home you may expect to pay an inspection fee of $90-$125. Typically for skunks we charge a per animal cost or we may charge a per trip charge. Per animal cost could be anywhere from $60-$100 depending on the placement of the traps and location of your property. Trip charges depend on the location of your property. This is the method we usually use for skunks. This cost is usually cheaper than the initial service call. At an added cost once the skunks are trapped and removed we can also screen of decks or fill in holes to keep them from returning. For free detailed quote contact us today!
