Do you need Skunk Removal Services in Smyrna?
Skunks love to tear duct lines and use insulation in their dens. Knowing their behavior and habits helps with safe removal. Once a skunk has moved under your home, quick action is required to minimize their damage. The skunk can spray or die inside your duct line! No doubt this would be quite unpleasant!
Skunks On Your Property
Skunks have a familiar black and white body, and just seeing one scares most people to back away from them quickly! A slang term for skunks is ‘pole cats’. Skunks are a member of the weasel family and are slow-moving mammals with strong front legs with ample claws that allow them to dig holes in yards.
Most skunks are about the same size as a house cat and are usually shy in nature. They are usually not confrontational. It’s their pungent odor that gets everyone’s attention! This smell secretes from the skunks’ anal glands. Most of the time you smell a skunk nearby much quicker than you see one.
Skunk removal is one of our specialties. We trap and remove skunks from back yards, under porches, or in the duct lines, HVAC lines and crawlspaces of your Smyrna area home or business.

Skunk Damage
Skunks will often dig holes and burrow under the front steps of homes or buildings, or under decks or sheds to secure a place to live and have babies. Sometimes they dig up your yard in an attempt to find the perfect spot to build their den.
Burrowing by skunks could cause weakening of foundation structures which can lead to expensive damage. Skunks can burrow under your house and cause major damage to your electrical work and plumbing.
Skunks living in a crawlspace on your property will defecate, urinate and contaminate the insulation and soil. These droppings should be removed in the clean-up process to prevent diseases and parasites.
