Skunk removal services can help with any skunk invasion

Skunks are pretty common in Colorado, especially if you live in a more rural area or close to a wooded or natural area. Usually, one first becomes aware of a skunk “problem” due to smelling their unique odor in or around their property. Complaints are also common related to skunks living under a deck or porch or digging holes in their yard. These are all common problems humans encounter with skunks. Therefore, skunk removal services may be required.

Can an exclusion barrier work?

Eliminating a skunk from your property requires plenty of work and patience. Many times, homeowners will attempt to use an exclusion barrier or other strategy they heard about before calling a skunk removal service. The problem with this type of solution is that it is usually only temporary. Skunks are very intelligent animals and can usually find their way around a barrier. Additionally, if a skunk encounters food left out on the porch (like a pet food bowl), the skunk will be hesitant to leave. For a permanent “fix,” you should hire a professional skunk removal service like The Critter Man.

Is it possible to trap skunks?

It is possible to trap skunks; however, only professional skunk removal services can do it properly. Trapping skunks requires a lot of equipment, skill and patience. Consequently, it is typically only used when all other remedies have been exhausted. A professional skunk removal service will advise against trying to trap a skunk (or any other nuisance wildlife) on your own. More often than not, you will end up regretting that decision. The Critter Man staff are professionally trained to deal with the unique challenges skunks present.

Are skunks dangerous to humans?

As most people are well aware, the main problem skunks tends to be their smell. Their spray is very difficult to remove from skin, clothing, and any other surface. There are tons of home remedies and products for sale that are guaranteed to get rid of skunk odor. It’s best to prevent your exposure in the first place.

More important than their smell is the fact that skunks are a major carrier of rabies, not only in Colorado but in other states as well. Treatment for rabies exposure in humans can cost thousands of dollars and is usually not covered by health insurance.
