The skunk is one of the hardest animals to try to get rid of. Because of their ability to spray people, they are not generally afraid of human beings. They know that once they turn their butts to human beings that the people will go running, so there is no reason to be too fearful.
There are not great ways to get rid of them either. You can’t really kill them because they will release their spray after they die. This will mean that your yard will have that horrible smell to it. If you scare them off and they have found food on your property before then they will return. You can’t even use your big dog to scare them off because they will spray the dog as readily as they spray you.
You could try animal control in your city or county, but this is kind of a crap shoot. There are some counties that will help remove a skunk, but it can be quite rare. This leaves you with looking for other options to get rid of this animal.
Most times, you will have to hire a professional. The problem is that you may not know who to go to for assistance. One option that people try it so contact their local pest control, hoping they will help to remove the skunk. The reality is that this is not their specialty for the most part.
Pest control agents are focused on insects. In some cases they will even handle such things as mice and rats as part of their removal, but it is very rare that you will come across pest control agents that actually remove skunks.
The thing you will have to look for is a professional that handles wild animal removal. Believe it or not, there is usually at least one company in your area that will handle this kind of problem. There are a lot of wild animals that can be found around people’s homes, even if they live in the big city. Snakes, raccoons, opossums, and bats are just some of the animals that can frequently be found, and skunks are quite commonly found as well.
These professionals can handle the problem quickly for you, without you having to worry about handling this on your own. It will cost to have them come out and that can vary depending upon the animal they are coming to get. With a skunk this is well worth the investment. They will pick up the skunk for you and take it away so you do not need to worry about it anymore. It is a permanent solution to your skunk problem.
