Skunk Trapping and Removal

Westchester Squirrel Trapping

Skunks aren't "mean" animals by nature, but like any wild animal, they will attempt to defend themselves against a perceived threat. New mother skunks are known to act aggressively to protect their young. Skunks are also known carriers of rabies. If a skunk is stumbling through your yard, be sure to keep a safe distance and remove your pets from a potentially dangerous encounter.

Westchester Skunk RemovalIf a skunk raises it's tail in your direction, move away immediately! A skunk can spray its noxious, foul-smelling odor up to 16 feet with incredible accuracy. Their spray is an overwhelming liquid, often shot toward the eyes, causing extreme irritation and stinging and generally giving you a really bad day or two! It's so potent, that even bears are repelled by it! Baby Skunks may look adorable, but they're an even greater threat for spraying, because they can't always control when they spray.

If you get sprayed, Immediately make a paste from:
1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide
¼ cup of baking soda
1–2 teaspoons of liquid dish soap

Wash the affected area, keeping the solution away from your mouth, nose and eyes. This will dramatically reduce the odor, although, you may still hate skunks for a good long time after! Call Us Today! (866) 977-4607
