- Close the burrow entry with barrier material set below grade
- Address the grub or food source drawing them to the yard
Skunk Removal and the San Diego area
Dry summers drive rodents and ants indoors for water, and drywood termites are widespread. That background matters for skunk removal specifically, because the timing of treatment and the entry points that need attention in San Diego, CA are shaped by local conditions rather than a national template.

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 San Diego 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 San Diego 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. — San Diego, CA
Basement corners were full of webs and egg sacs. Cleared them out and treated the perimeter, and it's stayed clear.
