I trap skunks in the Marshfield, Wisconsin area.
We are all Nature Lovers - UNTIL Nature gets TOO close. Skunks are some of the MOST feared wild invaders!
Homeowners are often frantic when they spot a skunk under their bird feeder or in their garden - for good reason! First, skunks are NOT solitary animals. If you see one, there will be MORE. Second, skunks are destructive and will tear up your garden and lawns, dig holes in landscaping, and invade your chicken coop. Third, skunks are often carriers of rabies and other diseases.
Skunks also have little fear of humans and LOVE to make their home under your porch, in your shed, woodpile, or barns. Skunks are VERY intolerant of your family dogs!
The GOOD NEWS is that Randy can capture these invaders! The BAD NEWS is that complete eradication may take many days to trap the entire family unit. Then there is always the possibility of startling the skunks and getting sprayed. The juvenile skunks are the WORST!
If you see or smell a skunk, call Randy immediately. Trapping these stinky trespassers requires setting multiple live traps - and then checking the traps continually. Trapped skunks must be removed from the area. Most will be humanely euthanized. VERY occasionally, a skunk might be relocated. But a released skunk only becomes educated and will always be someone else's problem.
Nuisance Animal Control EQUALS trapping. Very SPECIAL trapping methods are required for skunks!
If skunks have invaded your buildings or property, the ONLY solution is trapping. Using firearms around your residence is usually not an option. "Scaring them away" is not a long-term solution. If you are interested in the permanent removal of the problem skunks, give Randy a call.
Also note that in most cases, trapping equals DEATH for the offending animal. In a very few cases, a problem skunk might be caught in a "live trap", then transported miles away for release. This is the exception, however. In most cases, the offending skunks will be removed and dispatched in a safe area.
Also note that nuisance animal control is an expensive, time-consuming process. Expensive traps must be properly set, then checked at least once daily. This means that there will be an initial set-up expense and ongoing operational charges. Some animal offenders may elude traps for many days. You will be REQUIRED to set an upper limit to the total expense, but this may not guarantee the full elimination of the animal problem. Added costs, such as the removal and relocation of trapped animals may also apply.
Skunk trapping REQUIRES that the resident follow instructions perfectly. The trap must not be touched or visited. Household pets must be kept far away!
The conditions that attracted the skunks in the first place may lead to "repeat offenders" in the future - including migrating animals or even relocated animals that have returned to your property. If a skunk has taken up residence in or under a building, you can guarantee that another skunk will find the same entry point if you don't make the necessary repairs. Animal removal does not include structural repairs to your buildings or restoration of plantings or shoreline. Randy can offer basic repairs, in some cases. Often, extensive repairs will require a roofer and/or carpenter.
Skunks are considered an "Unprotected Species" in Wisconsin. This means there is NO CLOSED SEASON and skunks may be trapped year-round. Skunks are very social animals. If you see ONE skunk, you can be sure that there are many more nearby. Call Randy for removal ASAP!
Cost estimates: The MINIMUM cost will be $100.00 for set-up, trapping, and animal removal. Every day of trap checks and animal removal will add to the total expense. There is a cost to remove the animal and reset the trap. This cost is PER ANIMAL - regardless if it is a mouse, chipmunk, or 40-pound beaver. It is up to the landowner or resident to set the MAXIMUM budget in advance.
Randy offers nuisance skunk removal only because he is an avid outdoorsman. This is not a profitable business, and furs have little value. The landowner or resident will be REQUIRED to sign both a service estimate AND a 100% release of all liability for these services. For example, EVERY precaution will be taken to make the skunk trapping process "odorless". But skunks are wild animals, and are therefore unpredictable and occasionally RABID. NO guarantees can or will be made!!! Please contact Randy for an estimate or to schedule an on-site visit to assess the problem.
