Skunk Removal in Calgary & Area

Skunk removal is imperative as skunks can cause varied amounts of damage to a homeowner’s property. Skunks are likely to burrow into lawns to forage for food, which will lead to damage to the exterior and interior of your home as they begin to nest under your home (similar to mice and voles).

More so, after a skunk sprays, especially on a piece of furniture, it will be challenging to fully remove skunk odour, and it can take up to two to three weeks for the skunk smell to go away on its own. Furthermore, skunks’ feces is another risk that you should be wary of. It is just an additional reason why removing skunks from your property is essential, as their feces can be hazardous when inhaled and is liable to spread diseases to animals and humans.

We have a relocation approach that is effective for complete removal, and will ensure a returning infestation won’t be imminent. We make it our job that, when dealing with different species of pests, you have a safe, comfortable environment to come back to when the job is done.

Our solution for skunk removal is the most efficient way possible, it has been refined through techniques and evaluated on an expert level.

The method that we use is the live trapping method, where the skunk is trapped and then relocated to a minimum of 25 km away, so it can be relocated far enough away that it will not return. We will evaluate your property for places to hide like:

• Under a deck
• By a shed
• Near a den opening
• Around a patio
• By the front steps and
• Where a fresh smell is present.

Food is used to help bait the animal into 1 trap. Once the skunk is under control, message us so we can remove the skunk from your home. During this process we do our best to keep the skunk calm, the tail down, and trap covered to avoid unwanted sprays during the skunk removal.
