DECKS
Skunks just like raccoons often dig under sheds to find protection from the elements. You might look under the deck and not see the den entrance, but the burrow is there.
SHEDS
Sheds offer the best protection to skunks. Often sitting on a concrete slab, the shed structure acts like a fortress above their bunker deep underground.
PORCHES
Solid or precast steps can provide excellent shelter for skunks. Animals often dig under concrete steps and set up their den deep below the surface.

Inspection
Once we find the area skunks are using as a den, we measure and verify the exact number of feet we will need to exclude. We also verify that no babies are present and that all animals are mobile and can move on their own.
Trenching & Meshing
With your permission - we get to work. We will dig about 15-20 inches deep around the structure and attach a steel mesh barrier underground. This way skunks will not be able to dig back under the deck or shed once they vacate.
OnE WAY DOOR
Skunks vacate through our one-way door. This door can be attached to allow any animals that are hiding under the structure to exit. Once the animals are out, we return and seal things up permanently.
We make sure There are no immobile babies
Do Not Block Entry Points
There might be skunk babies living in the den. By blocking entry points to the den you are potentially hurting the animals inside. Our services are performed at times of year that potential skunk babies are totally grown up and mobile to minimize any possibility that animals are stressed or hurt.

The Problem With Skunks
Skunk Odour
When skunks become alarmed or threatened by a person or animal they spray as a defensive weapon. Skunk spray can be long lasting and overpowering.
Property Damage
Skunks can compromise small structure by digging underneath. They can also cause significant damage to lawns by digging in search of food – grubs and worms.
Health Concerns
Skunks can carry rabies. They can also carry parasites like roundworms. Some skunks carry ticks, mites and fleas which can also be harmful to humans and pets.
Skunk Removal FAQ
How Much Does Skunk Removal Cost?
Skunk removal typically costs about $300. This includes the costs of labour and materials involved. Pest-proofing a deck or shed starts at $30 per linear foot. Note that pricing depends on the size and complexity of the job.
What does Your Warranty Cover?
Our warranty covers the cost of materials and labour involved in the exclusion performed. If an animal breaches our work during the warranty period, we will come back and fix the problem for free. This is a comprehensive warranty.
Do You Trap Skunks?
No, we do not trap skunks. Trapping and relocating wildlife is inhumane. It risks injuring the animal or separating it from its young. Instead, we use the one-way door.
How Does A One Way Door Work?
The one-way door consists of a flap that only swings outward. When the skunk wants to leave its den, it will push on the one-way door to get out. Skunks leave their dens every day in search of food and water. Once out, it will not be able to push its way back in.
When Do Skunks Have Babies?
Skunks usually have their babies in the spring, in May or June. Also known as kits, skunk babies are immobile at birth. They stay in their until they are 6 to 8 weeks of age, when they start venturing out with their mothers. We wait until skunk babies are old enough to do so before performing any removal.
Do You Only Provide Services for Skunks?
We provide services for raccoons and other burrowing animals in addition to skunks. The removal process is very similar, and our exclusion works against these animals as well. If there are other pests on your property, we can help.
