Skunk removal in Massachusetts If you've got problem skunks in Massachusetts
We are not skunk exterminators! There are currently no poisons registered for use on skunks in Massachusetts. Even if there were would you want dead skunks remaining on your property? We can humanely remove any problem skunks that are causing damage. Man made structures that have had skunks denning beneath them should be skunk proofed with a trench screen exclusion to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem. We also provide these skunk proofing services so you don't have to put up with these uninvited guests again! It is very common for skunks and opossums to take up residence under buildings, in rock piles or in abandoned woodchuck dens. Skunks are omnivorous and will eat nearly anything that doesn't bite back and many things that will. Skunks mate in February-March with young being born in May-June. Skunks most commonly have 4-6 young per litter although litters of 10 or more have occurred.

Skunks can damage lawns and gardens by digging for grubs. These skunk diggings are usually 1-2 inches in diameter, round, cone shaped and fairly neat in appearance. Skunks can spray a foul musk up to 15 feet when threatened. Skunks are a very common carrier of rabies and can also carry distemper.
