Our Wildlife Control Process to Remove Skunks from Your Property
When skunks invade your property, they don’t just bring along their notorious odor—they can also pose health risks, cause property damage, and create unwanted stress for your household. At Nest Pest Control, we understand how important it is to remove skunks safely and prevent them from returning.
Our wildlife experts begin every skunk removal service with a thorough property inspection. We identify den sites, entry points, and food or shelter sources that may be attracting skunks. Once we have a clear understanding of the problem, we use humane live trapping methods to carefully remove the animals without harming them. After removal, our team performs exclusion work such as sealing access points under decks, sheds, or porches to prevent future intrusions.
Skunks are most active at night, and their presence often goes unnoticed until damage or odor becomes obvious. Nest Pest Control offers fast, reliable service to restore peace of mind and help protect your home or business from future visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Nest Pest Control safely and humanely remove skunks from my property?
Nest Pest Control uses humane, proven methods to safely remove skunks without causing harm. Our technicians begin with a detailed property inspection to identify den sites, common pathways, and attractants. From there, we implement live trapping techniques and exclusion strategies, all while complying with local wildlife regulations. Once removed, we relocate the skunks to a safe location away from residential areas.
What are the signs that a skunk is living on my property?
Telltale signs include a strong, foul odor—especially near crawl spaces, decks, or sheds—small holes dug in your yard, overturned soil or mulch, and nighttime animal activity. You might also hear rustling or see skunks on outdoor security cameras. If you’re unsure, Nest Pest Control can confirm the presence of skunks with a professional inspection.
Are skunks dangerous, and do they carry diseases like rabies?
Yes, skunks can pose health and safety risks. While their spray is the most well-known defense, they can also carry rabies and other diseases such as leptospirosis or distemper. It’s important not to approach or attempt to remove a skunk on your own. Nest Pest Control’s trained team ensures skunk removal is handled safely, protecting your family and pets.
Does Nest Pest Control offer exclusion methods to prevent skunks from returning?
Absolutely. After removal, we offer exclusion services such as sealing entry points under decks or porches, installing barriers, and recommending habitat modifications. Our goal is to make your property less attractive to skunks and prevent future invasions.
How can I keep skunks away from my yard and home?
You can deter skunks by removing food sources like pet food, bird seed, and open garbage, as well as keeping your lawn trimmed and clutter-free. Sealing off potential den sites under sheds or decks is also helpful. For the most effective long-term prevention, Nest Pest Control offers professional wildlife exclusion tailored to your property.
