Skunk Removal in Brevard & Orange County, FL

Skunks den under sheds, porches, and slab gaps. Many jobs start after a nighttime pet spray or a persistent odor with no animal seen.

Skunks can be a rabies vector — same-county relocation rules apply, and disoriented or unusually aggressive animals are handled as a health concern, not a routine trap.

Signs of a Skunk Problem

• Persistent musky odor at a shed, deck, or foundation gap.
• Shallow cone digging in lawns (similar to armadillo, often lighter).
• Den opening with matted grass or fur at the rim.
• Nighttime pet spray incidents near one yard area.
• Grub-foraging damage overlapping armadillo patterns.

What Affects Pricing

Factor	Why It Matters
Number of entry points	More access points mean more exclusion material and labor time
Attic/roof accessibility	Steep, multi-story, or tile roofs require extra safety equipment

Extent of damage	Insulation replacement, wiring repair referrals, and sanitation add scope
Recurring or unresolved activity	Prior incomplete exclusion elsewhere may require more extensive sealing

Skunk Removal FAQs

Will I get sprayed while you work?

The point of the method is that you do not. We move slowly, we do not corner the animal in the open, and we cover it for the carry. A startled skunk that gets poked with a broom is the usual way a house ends up smelling. Skunks are also a rabies vector species, so the release rule is same-county and within 24 hours.

My dog got sprayed — can you find the den?

Yes. A sprayed dog usually means the den is close, often under the deck, the shed, or the porch step. We find that opening and we do not leave it as a second bedroom after the animal is gone.

How do I keep skunks from denning under my deck again?

After the den is empty we install buried hardware cloth around the deck, the shed, and the porch, fastened to the structure. Traps without that skirt mean the next skunk digs the same hole. The smell on the dog was the symptom. The open crawl is the cause.
