Humane skunk removal in Calgary and area
Skunks burrow under decks and sheds, damage lawns and are difficult to de-odourise once they spray. We remove them humanely and keep them from coming back.
Humane skunk removal methods
Skunks dig up lawns to forage and nest under homes, decks and sheds, much like mice and voles. Skunk spray on furniture is very hard to fully remove and can linger for two to three weeks, and their feces can be hazardous and spread disease to animals and people. Call us at the first sign of a skunk problem.
The Pest Control Guy provides trusted skunk control in Calgary, Airdrie and surrounding communities using safe trapping, odour mitigation and long-term prevention.
Why skunks need prompt removal
Skunks burrow into lawns and nest under structures, causing damage to the exterior and interior of a home. A skunk that sprays near or under the house can leave an odour that takes weeks to fade, and skunk feces can carry disease that is hazardous to pets and people. The sooner a skunk is removed, the less damage and disruption it causes.
Our skunk removal process
Calgary skunk removal FAQs
Is skunk removal humane?
Yes. We use covered live traps, keep the animal calm, and relocate it well away from the property. Where a den has young, we time removal so the family stays together.
There is a skunk under my deck — what should I do?
Keep pets and children away, avoid startling it, and call us. We will assess the den, trap the skunk without triggering a spray, and seal the space afterwards.
How do I stop skunks from coming back?
Close off the space under decks, sheds and steps, secure garbage and pet food, and deal with grubs in the lawn. We handle the exclusion and give you the rest as a checklist.
