About Our Skunk Removal Service

Inspection and Assessment

Effective skunk removal starts with a detailed inspection of your property. An experienced technician will identify signs of skunk activity such as burrows, disturbed soil, strong odours, and entry points under decks or structures. We will assess how long the skunks have been present, whether there is a den or baby skunks involved, and the overall risk to your property. Based on our findings, we create a customized removal and prevention plan for your home or business.

Humane Skunk Removal Methods

Our skunk removal process is designed to be humane and compliant with Guelph wildlife regulations. Depending on the situation, this may include one-way exclusion systems, den eviction techniques, or live trapping when necessary. We take extra care during breeding seasons to ensure young skunks are handled properly. All methods are chosen to minimize stress, avoid odour incidents, and protect people, pets, and surrounding wildlife.

Prevention, Monitoring, and Exclusion

Once the skunks are removed, we focus on preventing their return. This may include sealing entry points, installing underground barriers, reinforcing vulnerable areas, and providing recommendations to reduce attractants on your Guelph property.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Contacted Wade about a skunk living under my deck. He responded and arrived same day to remove the skunk along with a few other pests we didn't realize were there. He is professional, timely and very knowledgeable, I would recommend his services to anyone who needs them in the Guelph area.

Tom

I cannot thank Wade enough for the after hours emergency service he provided on the weekend to remove a skunk from our cellar. It was such a relief to speak to him directly after calling several other companies that claimed to offer emergency service (but clearly did not based on the response from their receptionists, e.g. we can help in 60 hours, or in one case, next month!). Wade was a very calming presence and was very knowledgeable and persistent. He got the job done while keeping both the skunk’s and our home’s needs in mind. I would not hesitate to call him in the future (though I hope that won’t be necessary), or recommend him to others.

Stacey Stevens

I contacted West Fort Pest Management because there was a skunk living behind my shed. Wade, a super friendly guy showed up and caught the skunk and took it away on the same day. And the fee was fair and I’m happy the problem is solved. No more fear of approaching my shed in my yard. Thank you Wade!

Signs of Skunk Activity

Are you unsure if skunks are the problem? Here are some common signs that skunks may be living on or near your property:

Strong Odour – A persistent skunk smell around your home, deck, or yard that you notice for multiple days in a row.
Burrows or Holes – Shallow, cone-shaped holes in lawns or garden beds, or dug-out areas under decks, sheds, porches, or foundations. Skunks are often looking for grubs in lawns, so many holes in your lawn can be an indicator that they’re finding food.
Skunk Sightings – Skunks are nocturnal, so you’ll see them in the early dusk hours, or later at night.
Tracks and Footprints – Small tracks with five toes on both the front and back feet, often visible in soft soil or snow.
Denning Behaviour – Repeated activity around one specific area of your property can indicate an established den. Watch for areas that skunks tend to visit often, as there could be a den there.
