Questions about skunk removal
Can skunks be removed without them spraying?
Usually. Skunks spray as a last resort and give warning first. Calm, slow handling avoids it most of the time, though nothing is guaranteed with a wild animal.
Why is a skunk digging up my Aurora lawn?
Grubs. The cone-shaped holes are feeding damage, and the lawn will keep attracting skunks until the grub population is dealt with.
How do I get rid of the smell?
Ventilate and wash affected surfaces; time does most of the work once the animal is gone. Odor coming from under the structure usually means the den is still occupied.
From Aurora customers
Skunk living under the deck. They got it out, closed the burrow, and told me the grubs in the lawn were why it showed up in the first place.

Termite inspection before closing on the house. Thorough, found evidence of an old treatment, and explained what it meant instead of just handing me a form.
Rob K. — Aurora, IL
Mice every winter for three years running. This is the first year we've had none, and the difference was they sealed the outside instead of just setting traps inside.
