Florida Law & Compliance
Skunks can be a rabies vector in Florida. We use same-county relocation standards as for raccoons and escalate clearly abnormal behavior. See FWC nuisance wildlife rules →
| 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 |
| Presence of young/litter | Family removal takes extra time and a humane handling approach |
| 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 in Edgewood?
In Edgewood, 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 in Edgewood?
In Edgewood, 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 in Edgewood?
In Edgewood, 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.
