Skunks Are Active Now – Don’t Wait for the Spray
With this blizzard dropping 18+ inches and mating season in full swing (Feb–March), skunks are denning hard under decks, sheds, porches, and crawlspaces across the shoreline.
Watch for these signs: • Strong odor coming up from under decks or porches • Tracks in the snow leading under foundations (but none coming back out) • Fresh burrowing near crawlspaces or sheds • Rabies risk — CT DEEP prohibits relocation, so it has to be done right
If breeding pairs are trapped together, the spraying and fighting gets intense — and once babies arrive (April–May), it’s even messier.
Wrote a quick page with real tips on digging escape routes safely, keeping the stink out of your house (apple cider vinegar + cinnamon actually works), and when to call for humane removal.

Our Humane Skunk Removal Process
Here’s exactly how I handle skunks in Connecticut — safe, effective, and odor-free from start to finish. No poisons, no relocation (per DEEP rules), and no mess left behind.
- Free Inspection I come out to locate the den, entry points, and any signs of breeding pairs or kits. We check under decks, sheds, porches, crawlspaces, and foundations. No charge for the visit — just honest assessment.
- Odor-Controlled Live Trapping I set live traps with remote cameras so I get 30-minute alerts when something’s in there. This minimizes stress to the skunk and cuts down on spray risk. Traps are placed strategically to avoid unnecessary agitation.
- Safe Eviction I or use one-way doors for exclusion when possible. No re-entry — I make sure they’re out and can’t come back the same way.
- Permanent Exclusion Hardware cloth barriers, dig defense, and sealing all gaps to prevent future burrowing. I focus on the foundation and entry points so the problem doesn’t return.
- Prevention Tips
- Secure trash cans with tight lids or bungee cords
- Reduce grub populations in lawns (skunks dig for them)
- Trim low branches and remove wood piles near the house
- Check for gaps under decks/sheds every fall
