The thought of having a skunk in your home will naturally terrify you and drive you into a frantic frenzy of looking for a lasting solution to the problem.

Jack Russell Wildlife Control specializes in skunk removal and ensures they will not return. We first get rid of the problematic animal and then conceal the access points to ensure that it will not return to terrorize you again. The stripes skunk Mephitis Mephitis, or the Polecat, Spotted Skunk Spilogale gracilis, or Civet Cat are the two most common species of skunk found in Washington.

Generally, a skunk is less destructive than other pests that invade homes, like rats, squirrels, and raccoons. They rarely scratch or burrow through your walls as they use the passageways other animals make. Normally, they enter the house searching for rats and mice to eat. They are nocturnal and only come out at night to hunt for food and sleep during the day. Skunks are omnivorous and like eating insects, rodents, fruits, eggs, poultry, and vegetables. They are useful in keeping the rodent population in check when not being a bother.


Skunks use their offensive odor as a defense mechanism and emit it only when threatened. This odor can cause you or your temporary pet blindness for about fifteen minutes if sprayed when you are too close to the animal. They rarely live in the houses unless it is an abandoned house. They prefer staying away from people under decks, porches, and sheds. One easy way to eliminate skunks is to ensure that you use the house regularly because they will flee.

Their smelly spray makes them particularly difficult to trap because no one wants to get near them and risk coming into contact with the infamous ‘perfume.’ However, a professional with ample training on how to handle skunks can easily trap them and remove them from the vicinity of your home. Usually, the main goal of a professional pest control expert is not to kill them but to remove them and keep them at bay.


I have vast experience in skunk removal from places where they are unwanted. Constant exposure to their smelly sulfurous compound has also accustomed me to the smell.


Therefore, I do not mind going to your basement or crawlspaces to investigate if they are still there and doing whatever is possible to remove and keep them away. This involves removing odor to ensure it will not attract other skunks and reinforcing the structure to prevent them from returning. Other steps that can be taken to deter skunks from accessing the house are removing stacked wood piles, lumber, and other items that might attract them.
