The babies are then placed in our heated baby reunion boxes where they wait for their mother to relocate them to another den site in the area. Skedaddle’s technicians are trained to safely locate and remove skunk babies, often with the help of thermal imaging cameras. Mother skunks can be extremely defensive and are prone to spray if threatened during removal. During this time, the only way to remove them from below a deck, shed or porch is by hand, and they are often hidden in hard-to-reach areas under the structure. Litters of skunk babies arrive between May and June and are completely dependent on their mothers for the first couple of months after birth. When baby skunks are present on your property the removal process becomes more complicated. When you hire professionals to remove skunks you reduce unpleasant interactions, property damage, and prevent future skunk problems. While skunk entry points are often easy to spot, identifying all potential future points of entry requires a trained eye. With over 30 years of experience, Skedaddle technicians understand the seasonal and behavioural patterns of skunks, which allows us to safely complete a humane and spray-free removal.
Best of all, once installed, you no longer have to worry about the current skunk occupant from making its way back in but you’re also protected from all the other skunks in the neighbourhood looking to make your deck, shed or porch their home in the future.
DO SKUNKS HIBERNATE IN INDIANA PROFESSIONAL
All screens are installed in an aesthetically pleasing way, using professional techniques, to make it appear as though we were never there. Our friendly technicians handle the heavy lifting for you, securing a screen 8-12 inches deep into the ground around your deck, shed or porch that no skunk can dig or chew through. Ensuring skunks can’t dig back in means burying a heavy gauge steel mesh into the ground and digging up hundreds of pounds of soil. Preventing them, and other skunks, from returning is an important step that usually requires installing a barrier to keep them out. During their stay, skunks may spray unsuspecting pets or family members, leaving behind a lingering smell that can seep into your home and hang around for weeks.Īccessing skunk dens without being sprayed is only one part of the skunk removal process. Skunks are powerful and determined when it comes to digging and easily burrow below decks, porches and sheds. When skunks make their home on your property it can quickly become an unsafe and uncomfortable situation. We understand skunk behaviour, and the trouble they can cause on your property depending on the time of year and situation. Because distinguishing healthy skunks from those infected with rabies is difficult, professional removal is always necessary. Although skunks are not aggressive animals, they seem to be aware of their own odorous potential, as they are careful not to spray on themselves when targeting a threat. That odor, when targeted toward a pet or released under your deck or porch, is a major headache that can take weeks to dissipate. The striped skunk is a mammal that is infamous for the strong odor it can emit.
