Skunks definitely fit the description of a “nuisance” animal because of the potential to release its repugnant odor.
You may find a skunk has wandered into your yard, sprayed your dog, fallen down a basement window well or made a home for itself under your porch. The skunk needs to be trapped and removed.
Ohio wild animal nuisance regulations allow only two options for dealing with skunk control:
- Release the skunk on the same property where it was live-trapped
- Humanely euthanize a nuisance or sick skunk
Skunk removal can be tricky because you want to avoid getting sprayed. Geauga Nuisance Control is able to expertly trap and remove the skunk without getting sprayed.
To prevent skunks from returning we can secure the area so no other wild animals can inhabit that space.
4-13-2020: Thank you, Tim, for coming at 9pm last Friday night (after we called you at 5pm!) and removing the skunk from under our deck. You certainly prevented a bad situation (for our 2 dogs who REALLY wanted to get that skunk) as well as for us.
