Wildlife creatures are the bane for many property owners around Aurora. From the threat of harmful diseases to the risk of property damage, there are many reasons to want to safeguard your property against problematic species. Skunks are inarguably one of the most problematic species in our area. They cause discomfort even from their dens under sheds, patios, and the stoops of homes. This discomfort is, of course, caused by the nasty smell they produce. If you suspect one of these wild animals is living close to your home, we can help. Here is our process for controlling nuisance skunks.

Identify Entry Points- When looking to deal with skunks, it is important that we know where these pests are hiding on your property. This is why our team starts with a thorough inspection of your yard, home, and outbuildings. Because skunks burrow under patios, sheds, and under other outbuildings, this is where we look first.

Trapping- Once we understand where skunks are hiding, we can then work towards implementing traps to humanely catch these wildlife pests. This process is designed to be as safe as possible so that our team does not get sprayed while trying to address these ornery creatures.

Prevention- There are many things that can help reduce your chances of dealing with skunks in the future. We approach prevention by offering homeowners methods to deter these and other wild animals. This includes removing bird feeders, creating a barrier around gardens, avoiding feeding pets outdoors, and blocking off entry points to areas where skunks like to hide.

Our skunk pest control process is designed to be as least invasive as possible while providing maximum results. With everything we do, we want to make sure you are well informed about our methods and understand the pests you are struggling to deal with.

Skunk spray possesses one of the strongest smells on the planet. To get this viscous substance off of yourself, your pets, or other items, we recommend using a mixture of one quart of hydrogen peroxide, a teaspoon of dish detergent, and a quarter cup of baking soda. Do not store this formula, as it might explode in a sealed container.

Skunks are concerned with two things; food and shelter. They seek shelter under outbuildings, porches, and other secluded areas where they can make their dens. As for diet, skunks like to dig up grubs and will eat other things like pet food, insects, and small rodents. Although these wild animals are a great source of pest control due to their diet, they are equally as unwelcome as the pests they eat.

A skunk will not go out of its way to spray a person or animal. These naturally timid animals try to stay to themselves and only become defensive when they feel their lives might be in danger. Even when faced with harm, skunks will warn their potential victims by stomping their feet, hissing, or charging; if you notice these behaviors, back away slowly and do not turn your back. Sudden movements will be taken as aggression and met with a nasty spray of fluids.
