Skunk Trapping

Skunks are one of the most popular species of wildlife that we are called upon for removal in Houston. They can be found living in crawlspaces, under front and rear porch and patio and basements in homes and businesses throughout Texas. They also take up residence under sheds, in hot tubs and outbuildings. An elevated shed is perfect for raising a family.

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of them is the awful smell. They can spray children, pets, and members of your household. Even if a member of your family isn’t directly sprayed, they can spray animals on your property and leave a long lasting unpleasant odor. Attempting to remove them yourself puts you at an increased risk of being sprayed. We take care of odor free skunk removal throughout Harris, ‎Fort Bend‎, ‎Montgomery Counties, Texas.
