Skunk Removal for Vermont homes and businesses

Skunk Removal is one of the most common calls we take in Vermont. Skunks removed from under decks, porches and sheds, with dig-proof barriers so they stay out. Call (276) 319-2391 and we will tell you what it usually involves before you commit to anything.

Rental and vacation properties in Vermont need fast turnarounds between guests. We book early morning and between-stay windows and leave the space clean and usable the same day.

Vermont's older homes and barns are especially prone to bat colonies and squirrel intrusions, with mice moving in heavily each autumn.

Call (276) 319-2391 or request an inspection and we will book a window that works.

How it runs

  1. Call and describe it

    Tell us what you are hearing, seeing or smelling at (276) 319-2391. Animals loose indoors and injured animals are dispatched immediately. Everything else gets an inspection window.

  2. Full inspection and flat quote

    We survey the roof line, foundation and crawl space, photograph every entry point, and give you one fixed number in writing. Nothing starts until you approve it.

  3. Remove, seal, clean

    The animal comes out humanely, every entry point is sealed under warranty, and contamination is cleaned up. You get before and after photographs.

What Vermont customers say

Mice in the pantry. They found the gap behind the dishwasher line that everyone else missed.

Bat found in the living room at 1am. Someone answered, talked me through containing it, and came out that night.

Skunk Removal in Vermont: frequently asked questions

Will they spray during removal?
Rarely, if it is done calmly and correctly. Handling that startles a skunk is what causes spraying, so the work is deliberately slow and quiet.
How do I stop them digging under the deck again?
A dig-proof barrier trenched in along the perimeter. Trapping alone leaves the den open for the next skunk, and there is always a next skunk.
Why is my lawn full of cone-shaped holes?
Skunks digging for grubs. Treating the grubs removes the reason they are visiting, which matters as much as removing the animal.
What about babies under the deck?
We check before anything is sealed. Kits are removed by hand and kept with the mother, then the whole family is relocated together.
Can you get rid of the smell in Vermont?
Yes, with odour neutralising treatment at the den site. Surface products alone do not work if the source under the structure is still there.
How much does skunk removal cost?
Mostly driven by how much barrier trenching the structure needs. Quoted flat after we see the deck or shed.
There is an animal inside my house right now. What do I do?
Close interior doors to confine it to one room, open an exterior door or window in that room if you safely can, and keep people and pets away. Do not try to corner or handle it. Call (276) 319-2391 and we will talk you through it.
Do you clean up after the animals?
Yes. Droppings, nesting material, contaminated insulation and odour are all part of the scope. An attic that has been cleared but not cleaned is still a health problem.
