Skunks in Michigan are recognizable with their black and white stripes. Generally skunks live under deck and porches. Skunks also dig holes and create dens underground. Skunks feast on grubs and other insects below your soil. Also skunks get into garbages scavenging for food. Skunks are near sighted animals and use their sense of smell to maneuver around. Skunks will spray an unbearable odor out their anus up to 10 feet if they feel threatened. A warning sign skunks feel threatened is by stopping their feet and raise their tail. If this happens, back away slowly.
Skunk trapping is the best and really only method to get rid of them. Charging for skunk trapping is much like trapping raccoon's, squirrels, or feral cats. We charge a set up fee/inspection to come out to your home to survey the property and strategically set traps. Depending on the location of your home you may expect to pay an inspection fee of $90-$125. Typically for skunks we charge a per animal cost or we may charge a per trip charge. Per animal cost could be anywhere from $60-$100 depending on the placement of the traps and location of your property. Trip charges depend on the location of your property. This is the method we usually use for skunks. This cost is usually cheaper than the initial service call. At an added cost once the skunks are trapped and removed we can also screen of decks or fill in holes to keep them from returning. For free detailed quote click on the free price quote button.
