Having skunks on one’s property is problematic for several reasons. First, and obviously, odors can be nauseating. Also, the animals can damage lawns, yardwork, plants, and can nest inside of crawlspaces and inside of walls. Droppings which the animals leave behind can create a health hazard. Getting the animals off your property “the right way” is important to avoid additional spraying by the skunks and other problems. Our Cincinnati skunk removal service assists with the humane ridding of such problems. We can also assist with post-removal cleanup and home repairs. Contact us today to get started.
Skunks come onto property in search of shelter, food, and water. They commonly nest under decks, under air conditioners, inside of walls, and other indoor areas which they find access to. As is commonly known, these animals will release a foul smelling spray as a defense mechanism. It should also be understood that these creatures carry parasites which can cause disease, can carry rabies and can cause a host of other problems to the property. These problems include the destruction of a lawn, damage inside of walls, tunneling, and the leaving behind of droppings. In addition to the smell, signs that you have skunks in your yard can include visible holes, tracks, and audible noises.
Removing a skunk from the property often requires a different process than what is employed for other animals. This is due to the fact that there are no effective skunk repellents. They will not be swayed by substances such as ammonia either. Instead, the skunk must be trapped and the environment must be hardened so that the animals do not return to the property. Such hardening can include sealing openings, placing appropriate covers over vents, and modifying the environment to cut off food sources.
Another Critter Gone is an animal control and removal company helping Cincinnati residents to get rid of skunks. The process will begin with an initial appointment, where we will determine where the animals are nesting. If they are in hard to see areas then we may utilize thermal imaging technology to find them. We will lay down appropriate traps and will work to both cut off their entry ways and to remove their food sources. Our founder has been in the animal removal industry since 2006 and our team of professionals will take all necessary steps to solve the problem. We are fully insured and are proud of the results we have achieved for our customers. Contact us online or by telephone today.
Once the animal has been removed from your property then it will be necessary to clean up all droppings, remove skunk odors, and to repair any damage they have done to the property. This can include damage done to insulation, crawl spaces and more. We are familiar with the types of biohazards which these animals can cause and we will take appropriate steps to ensure that you are provided with a sanitary environment. We also assist with necessary property restoration. This can include tearing out old insulation and insulating the property, fixing damage to walls, and more.
In addition to the Cincinnati metro area, we also service the southwest Ohio areas of Fairfield, Forest Park, Batavia, Lebanon, Liberty Township, Loveland, Mason, Maineville, Norwood, Milford, Sharonville, and more.
