Where to Find Skunks


Skunks are nocturnal. In northern climates they may not hibernate, but they may sleep through cold weather periods. They often emerge around February to breed and may be difficult to trap during this time as they are mainly interested in breeding, not feeding. They usually live in underground burrows, hollow logs or rock piles. They may decide to live under houses, decks, sheds, cabins or storage buildings.


Reasons for Skunk Control & Removal Services


Of course, the main problem with skunks is their odor. Critter Control knows how to remove skunks from your property or home.  We can also help you remove skunk odor. They become pests when they change their dietary selections from rodents, insects and wild fruit to garden crops, garbage and lawn insects, and locate their habitat closer to humans. Another major problem in some areas of the country is the transmission of rabies. Both are excellent reasons to call the skunk removal experts at Critter Control that know how to get rid of skunks!
