Skunk Removal ~ 832-789-4194
Skunk removal is one of the most popular calls for us in Bellaire. They can be found living in crawlspaces, under front and rear porch and patio and basements. They also take up residence under sheds, in hot tubs and outbuildings. A shed is normally elevated off the ground and is perfect for raising a family. If there is shelter, skunks will find it!
Skunk removal should only be attempted by people who understand the danger this animal can present. Wildlife professionals know this danger first hand and have the tools and training to safely handle these animals. Some of the area we can help are:
- Skunks Under the House
- Skunk Clean Up
- Relocation of Skunks
- Skunk Exclusion
Skunk Under Home
Skunks commonly use a front or rear porch and patio to rear their young. Removal of babies from a porch or patio is a very unique process that should be professionally resolved to prevent the skunks from entering the home and endangering the occupants. You may or may not smell them living under your home. If it has sprayed recently, the odor will follow. We offer deodorization services for the home.
Skunks living in a crawlspace will defecate and urinate as they contaminate the insulation and soil. These droppings should be removed to prevent diseases. We know how to get rid of a skunk and have years of experience of removing them. Skunks will dig for grubs, a process called “grubbing” in lawns and landscapes. Grubs are a great source of protein for skunks.
A dead skunk under the porch, patio or crawlspace is a service that we perform. This can include the deodorization of the area. They do occasionally die in unusual places and they must be removed as soon as possible. We have even found a dead skunk in a wall. Leaving the carcass will only make the problem worse and cause further damage to your home and attract other animals and insects. Removing the skunk is the first step to making your home healthy again. Get rid of skunks the right way, before the problem gets out of control.
Odor Free Skunk Trapping
The best way to take care of the problem is with skunk trapping. Trapping can be done in an efficient manner with the proper tools and training. If I had a skunk in my home, I would want a professional that could remove them quickly and humanely.
There are a few dangers in DIY skunk removal. The first is the odor. A trapped skunk will spray as a form of defense. Professionals know the best way to remove the skunks without having them spray. They also carry rabies, distemper and mange. These diseases can be transmitted to humans and pets. Make sure your pets have been vaccinated against these harmful and fatal diseases.
