Skunks are one of the most frightening animals to have near the home, and for good cause. The most common problem with these mammals is that they stink! Skunks are known to spray anything they perceive to be an adversary, and their extraordinarily stinky spray has been known to travel up to 23 feet. Skunks will only attack if cornered or defending their young, and they will frequently spray pets that they perceive to be a threat. However, spraying isn't the first method of defense. Skunks will spit, growl, puff their fur, shake their tail, and stomp their feet on the ground. They will lift their tail and spray their famed skunk odor if the invader does not leave.
Squirrel trapping and removal is a specialty of Varment Guard. Our wildlife professional will conduct a comprehensive inspection to determine the severity of the problem before removing a squirrel or a family of squirrels from your property. They'll create a specific solution to trap, remove, and seal all entry points after the inspection. To clean up after the rodents, our expert will repair any damage caused by the squirrel and apply a sanitization and ectoparasite agent. They'll also give you warranty choices and a quote for preventative maintenance.
Chewing on, in, or around your home, small openings leading to the attic or crawl area, droppings, and waste such as nuts or nesting material are all signs that our inspector will look for. Squirrels will get access to your home through the eaves, soffits, vents, or chimneys.
