Call (209) 563-1650Frequently asked questions
How do I know a skunk is under my deck?
Signs include a persistent musky odor, a dug entry hole at the deck or porch skirt, and nighttime activity. Fresh digging and tracks at the opening confirm an active den.
What gets rid of skunk odor?
Specialized enzymatic cleaners neutralize skunk odor better than tomato juice. Removing the animal and den material is the first step, since lingering odor often comes from the den itself.
When do skunks have young?
Skunks typically have young in spring, so a spring den may hold kits. Removal checks for young first, since sealing a den with babies inside creates a worse odor and welfare problem.
