Will a pest control company remove a skunk?

Skunks happen to be omnivores. This means that they will eat anything from meat to vegetation. This is also one of the many reasons why human households are no less than gold mines for skunks. After all, human households, especially the kitchen, usually has a lot of food stored.

In case a sunk manages to get into your house, it could cause a lot of damage to property, along with a significant amount of odor. Even though skunks do not spray on humans unless they feel threatened, they can leave behind a very nasty odor on your property that will remain there for many days. Moreover, lawns and soft furniture are susceptible to be damaged by skunks since these animals are natural diggers and borrowers.



Though, a pest control company cannot help you in getting rid of a skunk. This is because pest control companies specialize in the removal of pests such as ant colonies, termites, etc. These companies are not trained to deal with skunks or rodents at all. Any good pest control company will be able to deal with all health-related hazards due to pests, apart from getting your property disinfested from them. The services that a pest control company offers include the following: protection from wasps, spiders, ants, termites, bed bugs, mosquitoes, cockroaches, gnats, ticks, flies, weevils, earwigs, mites, stink bugs, beetles, fruit flies, and a lot more.

So in order to get a skunk removed from your property, you will be needed a wildlife control company. There happens to be a very obvious difference between wildlife control companies and the pest control companies, as their respective names suggest.

Capable wildlife control companies have professionals that are trained in dealing with wild and larger animals, including rodents that make your property their home hence causing a lot of havoc. Moreover, these companies also possess all the necessary tools that are needed, along with a number of traps that successfully capture animals without hurting them. Moreover, a wildlife control company will also help you in taking precautions such as the installation of fences so as to prevent skunks and other animals from entering your property again. This will be done by thorough inspection of the property and by locating the spot from where the skunk had entered into your property. Moreover, such a company will also be able to help in removing the odor that skunks leave behind at specific places.

In other words, a pest control company would not be able to help you in getting skunks removed from your property. So you are better off looking for a wildlife control company in the Animal removal section in the local yellow pages.

Technically, a wildlife control company will technically be able to:

• Manage the whole process of removal of skunks and recommend renovations/changes to prevent skunks from entering your house in the future.
• Make evaluations regarding the extent of the infestation and the damage that has been caused.
• Develop a customized method of trapping a skunk based on the situation using traps.
• Take measures to remove the odor.
