Skunk Removal & Control in Indiana

Striped skunks are common throughout Indiana and are primarily nocturnal. They den under decks, porches, sheds, and foundations and are attracted to grubs, insects, and garbage. Skunks are the leading carrier of rabies in Indiana and can spray a sulfuric compound with accuracy up to 10 feet, making DIY removal attempts particularly risky. Skunks dig conical holes in lawns while searching for grubs and earthworms. They are most active in late winter and spring during breeding season. Licensed wildlife control operators have the equipment and techniques to trap skunks without triggering a spray and can help prevent future denning through exclusion work around foundations and decks.
