Leesburg Skunk Removal
Safe Trapping, Odor Control & Exclusion
Professional Skunk Trapping in Leesburg
In Leesburg, striped skunks are frequent visitors that create significant problems for homeowners by burrowing under decks, porches, and sheds. Beyond the obvious threat of being sprayed, skunks are known carriers of rabies and can damage your lawn while foraging for grubs. Jesse James Critter Getters provides expert skunk removal and trapping services designed to keep your family and pets safe.
Permanent Under-Deck Exclusion
Skunks are excellent diggers. Once they find a gap under your structure, they will move in and establish a den. We provide a permanent solution by installing heavy-gauge hardware cloth 'curtains' that are buried 12 inches into the ground, physically preventing skunks from burrowing back under your property.
Expert Odor Neutralization
If a skunk has already sprayed on or under your home, the smell can linger for weeks. Our team utilizes professional-grade neutralizing agents that break down the sulfur-based oils in skunk spray. We focus on neutralizing the source to restore your home's air quality and eliminate the scents that might attract other wildlife.
Leesburg Skunk Expert FAQ
How do I know if a skunk is living under my porch?
The most obvious sign is a persistent, faint musky odor. You may also notice 3-4 inch wide holes near the foundation or 'cone-shaped' foraging holes in your lawn where the skunk is digging for grubs.
What should I do if my dog gets sprayed by a skunk?
Keep your pet outside to prevent the scent from entering your home. Use a mixture of 1 quart 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, and 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap to neutralize the oils before rinsing thoroughly.
How can I prevent skunks from returning to my property?
The only permanent solution is structural exclusion. We install heavy-gauge hardware cloth buried deep into the ground around decks and porches to physically block skunks from burrowing back under.
