Skunk Control in Vacaville, CA
Skunks have two specialties: the first is what everyone already knows- stink! The second is they’re great diggers. I’ve seen skunks accidentally get trapped under homes by homeowners prematurely sealing holes to only tunnel 6 feet beyond the their home’s cement foundation wall. If you try to seal a hole a skunk created they’ll just dig another hole 5 feet over to exit and re-enter. It’s amazing. But you absolutely cannot have skunks live under your home. Bats are the top carriers of rabies in the US. Skunks are second. Plus, once under your home they’ll completely destroy and soil floorboard insulation, HVAC ducting and they defecate under your home. Fleas are a problem as well. During the winter season the female skunk will disperse her lovely aroma to attract mates. Males will fight and spray one another to compete for the female. This will go on for a few weeks! Once spring time comes around you’ll have approximately 3-8 baby skunks before summer. Unfortunately the cycle will continue. A solid prevention strategy, once all skunks are evicted, is best to end the cycle. I’ve been dealing with skunks since 2009 and every project is different but the same principles apply- skunks don’t climb so seal the perimeter (fence) of the property to keep them away from your home. If that’s not possible, then seal off decks, foundation and vents. If they’re already inside then trapping will be the only option.
