Skunks den under decks, sheds, porches, and crawl spaces, and the risk is the odor and the digging. Skunks do not climb, so the fix is ground-level removal and exclusion that closes the den for good.
Skunks are ground-level animals, so the work is about the den and the dig-proof barrier, not the roofline.
Find the den under the deck, shed, porch, or crawl space, and check for young before any exclusion goes in.
Remove the skunk with methods that minimize the odds of spray, on site and within Virginia wildlife regulations.
Install a dig-proof barrier with branded exclusion products so skunks cannot re-den under the structure.
Because skunks do not climb, skunk work is a ground-game: close the den, install a buried dig barrier, and remove the food and shelter that drew them in. Spring dens often hold young.
This is part of our full wildlife removal and exclusion program. Damage repair and cleanup run through home repair and attic insulation.
We use low-stress methods that reduce the odds, but no one can promise a skunk never sprays. Den-site cleanup and odor treatment are part of the service if it happens.
A buried dig-proof barrier around the deck, shed, or porch. Skunks dig rather than climb, so the barrier has to go below grade to hold.
In spring, often yes. We check for young before exclusion so a litter is not sealed in away from the mother.
We clean and treat the den site. Whole-structure odor from a major event can need additional remediation, which we will scope honestly.
One inspection finds the den, checks for young, and sets the removal and dig-proof plan.
