Quick, humane solutions to get the skunk out—and the smell gone for good.
When skunks move in, it is often a matter of convenience and timing. They are opportunistic scavengers looking for three specific things: a reliable shelter, a consistent food source, and a secluded environment.

Here is a breakdown of why and when skunks decide to make your property their home:
- Seeking Seasonal Shelter: During late fall and winter, skunks look for protected dens to stay warm and dry, often choosing the space beneath porches, decks, and shed foundations.
- The Search for Safety: When the weather turns or they are looking for a safe place to raise their young in the spring, your home's foundation provides an ideal, sturdy structure that is already partially protected from the elements.
- The "Odor" of Necessity: Once a skunk has denned under your structure, the presence of its musk often leaves a persistent, musky, or sulfur-like smell that can linger in your home and yard for weeks.
- Environmental Signs: You may notice them moving in if you see increased nocturnal activity near your home's entry points, mysterious small holes in your lawn where they have been foraging for grubs, or if you begin to notice that distinct, pungent odor around the perimeter of your foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions: Skunk Control
Frequently Asked Questions: Skunk Control
- I smell a strong, musky odor under my house. Is it a skunk? That distinct, pungent scent is the hallmark sign of a skunk. Skunks are notorious for digging burrows under foundations, sheds, and porches. For a full breakdown of the signs of a skunk infestation and how to handle them safely, check out our [Wildlife Identification & Trapping Guide].
- Can skunks cause damage to my home's foundation? Absolutely. Skunks are excellent diggers, and their burrowing activity can undermine the structural integrity of your home's foundation, porch, or deck. We use professional [structural sealing] techniques to close these burrows and ensure they cannot dig their way back in.
- Why shouldn't I just block the hole myself? If you seal a hole while an animal is still inside, they will become trapped, leading to severe odor issues and potential damage as they struggle to escape. We utilize specialized [exclusion methods] that allow the skunk to exit the structure while preventing it from re-entering.
- Do you offer skunk removal in my neighborhood? We are a locally-owned family business operating throughout Tarrant County. We provide expert [Skunk Removal in Fort Worth, Southlake, Keller, and all surrounding communities.
- What if they have soiled the area under my porch? Skunk waste and the lingering scent can attract other pests and cause persistent odors. We offer comprehensive Attic Restoration and Decontamination services (which also applies to crawlspaces and under-deck areas) to neutralize pheromone trails and restore a clean, safe environment for your home.
- Q: How much does your wildlife control service cost?
- A: We believe in being upfront, just like a good neighbor. While every wildlife issue is unique—a raccoon in one attic isn't the same as a mole issue in a backyard—our standard service calls Start with a Free Inspection and removal starts at $249.00.
