Skunk Removal in Richmond Hill
If your dog or cat keeps getting sprayed, a skunk may live close by. Our team serves Richmond Hill and areas across York Region and Durham Region. We close the den after the skunk is gone.
Signs of a problem
Small cone-shaped holes in the lawn where skunks dig for grubs. A strong skunk smell near the house, deck, or shed. Dug-up garden beds and lawn patches. Spray smell on a pet.
How we do the job
Our technician checks under decks, porches, and sheds for the den entrance. Before we start, we look for young skunks. We live-trap the skunk and relocate it. We close off the entry so other animals do not move in.
In your area
Richmond Hill has ravines, trails, and Lake Wilcox, and the Oak Ridges Moraine runs through its north. Skunks live in wooded areas and green space. They often den under decks and sheds in nearby yards. Parts of Richmond Hill are newer neighbourhoods that grew in recent years. New decks and sheds can leave a dark gap underneath. A skunk can move in if the gap is open. Richmond Hill's historic core near Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive has older homes. Older homes often have porches and sheds with open space underneath, and skunks like that space.
